COM Port Monitoring

COM Port Monitoring is a cool application that helps you read and send data through COM ports. You might be wondering what a COM port is. Well, it’s a type of serial port that was introduced with Windows 2000. It lets you communicate with devices that are compatible, using an easy-to-navigate user interface.

Why Use COM Ports?

Even though most modern computers have shifted to USB ports, COM ports still play an important role for some projects. If you're working on managing and communicating with devices through COM ports, USB just won't cut it. A common fix is to use a USB to serial adapter. But here’s the catch: sometimes the equipment doesn’t recognize this connection, making it tough to send or receive data.

The Simple Interface of COM Port Monitoring

This is where COM Port Monitoring comes into play! The app has a simple spreadsheet-like interface where you can easily see which ports are sending and receiving data on your computer. It makes everything super straightforward!

Customizing Your Data Display

You can even customize how your data looks! You have the option to split the data into user-defined columns using characters you choose. If your device sends data every second (which can happen), you can set up intervals for writing this information into a database.

Easily Store or Export Your Data

The best part? COM Port Monitoring allows you to automatically save your data or export it straight to Excel! This way, you can keep everything organized for future reference or other projects you're working on.
