Hi All,, HyperTerminal is a very usefull Serial Port utility that comes with Windows. But it displays the incoming data in ASCII. Is there any Terminal Emulation program for Windows platform that displays the actual received Hex/Binary data and donot do any ASCII conversion on it. That is to say 0x41 is displayed as 0x41 instead of 'A' and 0x0A is displayed as 0x0A instead of being used as Line Feed (new line) control character. Any help would be great. -Rocknmoon
I've used ProComm Plus for years (but it's not free). It has a debug mode that allows you to see incoming characters in their byte-value format. David Erbas-White
"HyperTerminal is a very usefull Serial Port utility..." That is a widely disputed matter of opinion! ;-) I would certainly say that ProComm is vastly superior. Meanwhile, back at your original question, Try looking here: http://www.viddata.com/vidappl.htm or here: http://www.btinternet.com/~kxh/easycom.html or your favourite Internet Search Engine. You might also want to take a look at Earwigg - which provides both a terminal and a little adaptor thingy to let you "earwig" on a serial link: http://www.laplaceinstruments.com/earwigg/earwigg.htm
we are using zoc.exe. A very powerful monitorprogram. It ist shareware. So you will have the chance to test the program before buying. Take a look at: http://www.emtec.com/zoc/index.html Bye ...Leo
ViewComm from Greenleaf Software is pretty good also.: http://www.greenleafsoftware.com/ If you would like to do "fancy" stuff with the data that is coming from the serial port you may try WinWedge.: http://www.taltech.com/TALtech_web/products/winwedge.html -Alex
"HyperTerminal is a very usefull Serial Port utility..." That is a widely disputed matter of opinion! ;-) Maybe he meant useless! :-) I copied the terminal program from Windows 3.1 onto my 2000 machine and that's what I use. It works GREAT for what I need (which is little more than a dumb terminal). Jon
"I copied the terminal program from Windows 3.1" Also quite widespread! ;-) I've tried it & had the odd hiccup - but you get that running old 16-bit apps on new OSs. It's no worse than many "native" 32-bit software! For the really basic dumb terminal emulator, it's fine.
