Serial port sniffer
-
I need a serial port sniffer which can display/log incoming and outgoing data under Windows without requiring a duplex cable. Google and other search engines are spammed from two vendors, HDD Software which hangs the PC and AGG Software which wants to send more error reports than it logs. Any recommendations?

I came across com0com [^]which has proved invaluable. It's basically a pair of virtual serial ports which are linked together. What you can do is set up the virtual port then write a simple program which reads in data from the hardware port, does what you want, in my case I dumped it to a file and also printed it out (differing colours depending on which direction it's going in) and then spewed the data out into the virtual port. The program under test can then hook up to the virtual port. Give me a shout if you run into some problems.
