Look RS232

Look RS-232 is an instrument to debug computer connection with outer devices that use COM port such as modem, miniATS, projector etc. The program is designed to facilitate work with one of COM ports available and it has intuitively comprehensible interface.

Look RS-232 does this by giving you a means to monitor and send serial data packets to and from the PC, allowing full duplex communication to the external device.

Look RS-232 is able to send information through COM port to an outer device and receive data incoming through COM port from the device.

Look RS-232 supports: �￭ standard speed 110..115200 kbit/s connections; �￭ data entry in ASCII, BIN, OCT, DEC, HEX formats; �￭ display of data in ASCII, BIN, OCT, DEC ,HEX formats; �￭ file transmission and receipt; �￭ time link (from the moment of port activating).

Look RS-232 has a command of software management of COM port control signals and visual indication of such signals.

Look RS-232 keeps log of data sent and received, displays in the log common messages about port work, has a filter of log display, can save input and output data stream as separate files with extensions reserved.

Look RS-232 can effectively work with files: �￭ save and load tasks, including macros; �￭ transmit, receive and save the files and data received through the port.

LookRS-232 works with COM ports available in the system, regardless of their location whether on the mainboard, or on supplementary input/output boards, e.g. VS-Com (Roadrunner) PCI-800H 8-port PCI.
