One of the problems which appears while debugging of microprocessor systems or hardware-program complexes through interface RS-232C is a development of test software. This test software must be universal for debugging any devices of specified class. And it should be also comprehensible and suitable when are used by the developers of equipment and programmers.The program Terminal RS-232C satisfies this condition. The program can send the sequences data determined by user as well as respond to certain requests. This allows not only testing the separate instrument, but also emulate the behaviour of the separate instrument. The Program works at any PC, which uses MS Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/XP operating systems. The Program perceives specially designed scenario of the protocol of the exchange through interface RS-232C to provide versatility of the testing of any equipment. The User interface in program allows comfortable and accustomed work the developer, loading files with scenario. As well as allows to view information on given exchange through RS-232C such as sent and taken bytes, COM port status lines, errors of the exchange. There is also a possibility of documentation of exchange information in output text file.

The Terminal RS-232C program can work in modes of monitoring, testing and emulation.The detailed description mode of working see in help on program.

Mode of the testing

Mode of the emulation

Mode of the monitoring

• Displaying the serial data in either ASCII or HEX format.
• Logging all incoming and outgoing serial data for you.
• Showing you the current communication on the serial port.
• Automatic determination of quantity COM ports in the computer.
• Transmitting of the data from the file in a COM port.
• Copying serial data to the clipboard and pasting it into a standard text file.
• Copying serial data to the clipboard and transmitting it into a COM port.
• Fulfilling repetition of the operation of transmission in a COM port.
• Saving the terminal screen to file.
• Incoming and outgoing data are displayed using different colors or fonts.
• Controlling a signal DTR.
• Controlling a signal RTS.
• All communication characters sent or received from the serial port are logged with a time stamp.
• Displaying main pilot signals for a COM port.
• Transmitting of the data in COM port in cycle.
• Transmitting of the data in COM port on step.
• Waiting the answer to sent portion data.
• The program can work in modes of monitoring, testing and emulation.
• Hardware and software management dataflow through COM port.
• Work in full screen mode.
• Automatic opening COM port.
• Automatic opening and transmission of the data file to COM port.
• Automatic closing the program after transmission of the data file to COM port

• Maintain records during software testing.
• Assist technical support in failure finding.
