Best serial port software, monitoring and snipping utility

Over the years, I have been engaged in the development of microcontroller software and firmware, and I have seen many posts about serial software on Dev.to.

After a long period of use, I decided to write a comment on the best free value -added (Freemium) serial software .

I am willing to spend time to help you avoid wasting time in complex paid software or outdated free software .

Which software do I recommend?

That is SerialTool —— www.serialtool.com

First of all, it is a

free value -added (freemium) software , most of the functions are free, even if you do not buy a license (by the way, even if you buy a license, you can also buy a license. It is much cheaper than other similar software).

It also supports cross -platform

, providing the same UI and functions on Windows, Linux and Macos . Especially on MacOS , high -end serial software is rare. More importantly, it is the only software that supports MBUS protocol simulation . This function is very important in the field of industrial automation. The following is the main function of SerialTool :

Multi -serial management: You can manage multiple serial ports at the same time without running multiple program instances. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/ccf4769973F7658A063527C4292

Python script support: Powerful features! You can use Python script to control the GUI. Want to use the graphic interface to see the data intuitively while using the serial port? With SerialTool and Python, anyone can easily control the serial port without installing additional libraries. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/4129304D04CB688585FFD88C45FD

Modbus support:

Fully supports Modbus RTU, ASCII and TCP —— Especially in Macos is an essential feature! Link: https://www.php.cn/link/2F0F2F6DA6992B9CA06B907A9E803296

Sixteen -in data Viewer (HEX View): In addition to the ASCII terminal mode, you can also analyze the data in Hex format . Link: https://www.php.cn/link/988d51eda1be1cd704D83B0391F9

Built -in hex file editor:

You can easily edit the HEX file , usually lower than the independent HEX editor. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/3AB9924133B76CDD88DB6E7B2734DA USB device mapping (USBMAP): You can view all connected USB devices

and

serial information , and check the driver, path, serial number and other details.

Quick buffer storage and transmission: Common data buffer can be saved and quickly retrieved and sent. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/0573589c2b18bae3fa72e2082e7fb2ae Automatic answer mode:

Automatically answered when receiving a specific serial port packet. It is very useful when simulating remote devices. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/65A2E5F265AC3D8EE8E39FF5D2BB3F96

Alarm triggering for specific data packets: Filter and highlight specific data modes to quickly identify important data. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/5A87C42972DFB55FF9CDB144A3ba5cc3

Transfer files through serial port: Update remote device firmware. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/c2d6b7f8db832c0be60251cf412e35c5

Spyport —— serial sniffer and recorder (only Windows):

Only Windows

—— Use the Kumic Driver to Monitoring Software The traffic . All data can also be saved into the file. Link: https://www.php.cn/link/c9bd2d5fb6cea41198dc6A2F817331 Now, I have introduced some functions of

SerialTool

. However, this software provides more functions , and is being updated

. When you read this article, you may have added more powerful features!

I hope my recommendation will help you and help you use this powerful and easy -to -use serial tool tool to save time. If you have any opinions or questions, please tell me at any time! ?
