RS232 Serial Analyzer

Reason 3: Send / receive commands in all data formats

232Analyzer supports command input and keeps log of the sent and received data in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary, or ASCII format.

These options are useful and necessary for the following reasons:

• Machines use Binary for communication - either ON (1) or OFF (0). It is difficult for human beings to understand as we already got used to Decimal, but that is how machines communicate.
• Different manufacturers use different data formats in their protocol documentation. Some use Hexadecimal, some use Decimal, others use ASCII. With these options, it is not necessary for you to convert data from one format to another from time to time.
• Sometimes we need to know which bit is turned ON or OFF for data verification. In such situations, viewing in Binary format becomes the best option.
