Sniffer - A simple serial
port sniffing/terminal program
Description:
Sniffer
was created from the need to decode serial data streams used by
Broadcast and AV equipment. Much of this equipment is programmed using
RS232 or RS422 codes and the protocols are not always well published.
Hence the need to "sniff" and decode them. Sniffer has the ability to
send both ASCII and Hex data either seperately or mixed in the same
string.
RTS and DTR can be individually set as well as monitoring the status of
the remaining data lines. It also supports capturing the stream to file
for later analysis.
This program was developed for my own needs so it may not suit your
requirements.
It is currently available for LInux and Windows only (I don't have a
Mac.....yet!).

The
program is supplied as a statically compiled program. This means it is
a bit
larger but no other files are needed and it doesn't need to be
"installed". It can be run from a CD or a USB drive.
Feedback:
Any
postive constructive feedback is always welcome. Drop me a
note at 'sniffer' at this web site.
