Docklight RS232 Terminal - RS232 Monitor 1.8
Docklight RS232 Terminal - RS232 Monitor - Docklight is a testing, analysis and simulation tool for serial communication protocols (RS232,
RS485/422 and others). It allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to
test the serial communication of a single device. Docklight is easy to use and runs on almost any
standard PC using Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT 4/98 operating system. Key functions include:
*
Simulating serial protocols - Docklight can send out user-defined sequences according to the
protocol used and it can react to incoming sequences. This makes it possible to simulate the
behavior of a serial communication device, which is particularly useful for generating test
conditions that are hard to reproduce with the original device (e.g. problem conditions).
* Logging RS232 data - All serial communication data can be logged using two different file
formats: use plain text format for fast logging and storing huge amounts of data. Or create a HTML
file with styled text that lets you easily distinguish between incoming and outgoing data or
additional information.
* Detecting specific data sequences - In many test cases you will
need to check for a specific sequence within the RS232 data that indicates a problem condition.
Docklight manages a list of such data sequences for you and is able to perform user-defined actions
after detecting a sequence, e.g. taking a snapshot of all communication data before and after the
error message was received.
* Responding to incoming data - Docklight lets you specify
user-defined answers to the different communication sequences received. This allows you to build a
basic simulator for your serial device within a few minutes. It can also help you to trace a
certain error by sending out a diagnostics command after receiving the error message.

Docklight has been successfully tested with various USB-to-RS232 converters.
