232Analyzer is an advanced Serial Port Terminal / Monitor Software (sniffer / debugger), which allows programmers, engineers to control (terminal, debugger), monitor (sniffer, data logger) serial port (RS232, RS485, RS422, Modbus, etc.) activities.

232Analyzer supports data input (terminal, debugger) and monitoring (sniffer, data logger) in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary and AscII formats. It also allows you to change / monitor RS-232's line state: RTS, DTR, CTS, DSR, DCD, and RI.
All data and signal flows are logged in the Communication Window, which can be save as .txt, .doc or .rtf files for further analysis.

232Analyzer can be used as a:
 

Debugging tool (debugger/terminal)

232Analyzer allows you to send command codes to the controlled devices in all data formats: Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary and AscII, with the options of DELAY, REPEAT, and INTERVAL.

There are many reasons why different data formats are necessary:
Although machines talk in Binary, it is much more convenient for us to use Hexadecimal, decimal or readable characters (AscII) as they are more understandable and structured, moreover, many manufactures use different data formats for different devices in their protocol manuals (some even use multiple formats for one single device, such as Modicon Modbus Controllers).
 
Not only command sequences can be sent to the controlled devices, 232Analyzer also allows you to control the RS-232's line state (RTS and DTR).
With the advanced feature of Programmable Buttons, 232Analyzer allows you to send out up to 32 sets of command sequences at the click of a button, with the timing and signal controls.
"Control sophisticated serial devices with a button click" - this makes 232Analyzer an excellent tool for debugging serial devices.
 

Simulating tool (terminal)
With the advanced features of Programmable Auto-Response and Programmable Macros, not only be able to respond to incoming data, it is also possible for 232Analyzer to respond to line state changes, or the combination of incoming data and line state status.
By using 232Analyzer, it is possible to simulate the behavior of a serial device, which is particularly useful for generating test conditions that are difficult to reproduce with the original device (e.g. UPS failure conditions).
 

Monitoring tool (monitor, sniffer, data logger)
232Analyzer comes with monitoring feature with timestamps, it allows you to monitor / spy communications between any other two serial devices, such as a controller and P/T/Z (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) cameras. This is particularly useful if you don't have the protocol manual from manufacturer.

You can choose either Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex (requires two COM ports in your computer) methods to capture all the command flows (Note: signal state is not recorded in monitoring mode).
 

Analyzing tool (analyzer software)
232Analyzer allows you to save captured data (command codes and signal changes) into log file in various formats: .txt, .doc or .rtf (rich text file).
Incoming / outgoing commands and signals can be recorded in your preferred color for easy analysis.
You can also open previous log file and continue recording with the same file. Search function is also available, it allows you to find the interested command codes in seconds.
 
Features
  • Two communication modes: Debugging/Simulating and Monitoring (support both Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex monitoring)
  • Timestamps for monitoring mode (both Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex)
  • Send / Receive data in all formats: Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary, and AscII
  • Send / Receive signals: RTS, DTR, CTS, DSR, DCD and RI
  • COM 1 to 16 with Handshaking options (Hardware, Software or Both)
  • Frequently Used Commands: 00h to 1Fh (Total 32 nos.)
  • Programmable Buttons: send signals, command strings or data sequences at the click of a button (Total 32 buttons).
  • Programmable Auto-Response: upon receiving incoming data or signals, program automatically send out data, and/or signals (Total 16 nos.)
  • Programmable Macros:  send sets of data / signals, response to different types of incoming data / signals with timer and sequence (Total 8 x 8 Steps, and 8 x 8 Sub-routines)
  • Virtual LEDs: view RS-232 line state, control RTS and DTR, and Break communication temporarily
  • Checksum Calculator: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, Reverse Bit Order, +, -, x, \, MOD, CRC-16 (for Modbus), etc.
  • Notation Converter: convert from one data notation to another
  • AscII chart: all 256 AscII code in different formats
  • Flexible screen adjustment: Checksum Calculator and AscII can be hided, thus allows other program to be view at the same time
  • Customizable colors for Background, TX, RX1 and RX2 (2nd COM port channel when using Full-Duplex monitoring)
  • Device Profile: COM port settings, user notes, etc. for different devices can be save individually
  • Data Logging: all communications are logged and can be saved into .txt, .doc or .rtf files for further analysis
