Serial Port Terminal - Introduction

Advanced Serial Port Terminal is a session-based, multi-purpose application that provides simple communication interface to connect to any serial port device (modem/fax/GPS/mouse/printer and so on). Do you want to connect to remote computer using null-modem cable or LAN, send/receive various types of data (ASCII string, binary, octal and hexadecimal) to remote end, redirect input/output data streams into a specified file, troubleshoot and test modem settings? Look no further! Advanced Serial Port Terminal is just for you.

Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows you to open as many serial ports as you like (including virtual serial ports); dynamically change serial port settings without necessity to close and reopen current port; adjust baudrate, databits, parity, stop bits, flow control parameters; save all received bytes into a file for later analysis and lots more. Being a session-based application, Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows creation of options sets and saving them under individual session names for different hosts.

Unlike other terminals you may not only send, but also receive and view data in hexadecimal format, switch between dump, terminal and VT100 emulation view modes, etc, which could be very useful for debugging and testing serial port connections.

Highly customizable interface lets you easily customize program interface to your taste and needs.
