How it Works

Serial Monitor works by installing a filter driver on top of a serial device driver. A filter driver intercepts all I/O requests issued by application. There are control requests that configure port parameters as well as data transfer requests that pass data between application and serial device. Each request is captured and passed to a running monitoring session within Serial Monitor for further analysis.

Serial Monitor includes a large set of data protocols to parse each intercepted data transfer request. The user can add his own protocols using the simple yet powerful protocol definition language.

Each monitored data packet is parsed according to the configured protocols. An optional capture filter can be used to locate data of interest. A wide set of built-in and custom data visualizers and exporters are provided to give the user powerful insight on the monitored data.

The built-in powerful Serial Terminal module provides a versatile terminal emulation environment which can be used in collaboration with a running monitoring session.

Serial Monitor provides rich support for MODBUS protocol and devices, including specialized data visualizers, MODBUS Send window (MODBUS packet builder and sender) and full MODBUS protocol definition.

Virtually every component of the Serial Monitor may be programmatically controlled by a running script, written in TypeScript (superset of JavaScript).
