Serial Port Monitor ActiveX
Control and analyze RS232 activity

Serial Port Monitor ActiveX is a versatile and useful component that will empower your application with the power to fully monitor all serial port activity in the system.

The component offers you a wide set of features to check the state of the serial port, intercept all signal line events (Ring, RTS, DCD, DTR, RTS, etc.) and control functions (Handflow, Baudrate, Timeouts). Rich set of methods, events and properties will help you track down serial port activity to the smallest detail.

With Serial Port Monitor ActiveX you can:

  • Monitor already opened ports

    Start monitoring the port that has already been opened by another application. Serial Port Monitor ActiveX will tell you which application exactly has opened the port. You can stop monitoring the port the same way, without the need to close the port first.
  • Monitor all serial port activity in your system

    Serial Port Monitor ActiveX will let your application sniff all communication between application and serial port. Serial Port Monitor component features a complete set of methods, events and properties to let you intercept all data that has been sent to a port, any changes to port's settings and track everything that happens to the port.
  • Monitor an unlimited number of serial ports

    Monitor only one or all the ports in your system, as Serial Port Monitor ActiveX lets you monitor an unlimited number of serial ports. Extend Serial Port Monitor with you own functionality to add even more features to this component.

What customers say
  • I have successfully embedded Serial Port Monitor ActiveX into my own application and now I have a very useful tool for debugging. Finally I can test and monitor protocol errors in my device or any other serial port's problems.
