Advanced Serial Data Logger description
An unique serial port data logging and communication spying solution

Advanced Serial Data Logger - digital technologies evolve with blazing speed. Computers are becoming entertainment centers of our homes.

Advanced Serial Data Logger is a program that allows you connect to COM ports.

Tireless machines replace often erroneous human beings at business-critical automation tasks. Various devices are being attached to PCs in order to implement extended functionality.

More and more devices are invented (and to mention re-invented) these days within the new digital paradigm.

Serial ports provide fast and easy way for developers to implement software support of their innovative hardware. Communication via standard COM port interface is a perfect way to ensure the new hardware will be compatible with most modern and yester PCs. And with growing number of USB devices simultaneously connected to a PC, serial ports grow to be a true alternative in data interchange.

However, developing software that communicates with a device via COM port may be a challenging task without proper tools. What all developers and engineers actually dream of is a superb tool that would allow them to listen to serial port, write to it directly and log its communications in spy mode. Is there anything like that on this Earth?

In fact, there is! Introducing Advanced Serial Data Logger by AGG Software! This unique serial port data logging and communication spying solution supports RS232/RS485 interfaces and features convenient user interface as well as flexibly configured modes of operation. Advanced Serial Data Logger is capable of monitoring and logging data from any serial port on your system.

It supports baud rates up to 115200, configurable stop bits, data bits, parity and flow control. The application operates both in manual and automatic modes offering developers unprecedented flexibility. Spy mode allows monitoring data exchange between hardware attached to the port and Windows applications.

Thanks to plug-in architecture, Advanced Serial Data Logger is highly customizable and easily expandable to suite your needs.

Here are some key features of "Advanced Serial Data Logger":

· Capability to log multiple serial (RS232,RS485,RS422) ports at same time
Our data logger has the capability to log multiple ports simultaneously so that multiple external serial devices can be logged;

· Flexible parameters
You can use any baud rate, number of data bits or stop bits, parity, hardware and software flow control. You may define custom naud rates too;

· RS-485 protocol support
Advanced Serial Data Logger can handle the RTS signal and control the direction of data flow;

· Spy (sniffer) mode
Allows you monitor and catch data exchange between an external device and another software;

· Variable data receive
Supports text, raw, binary data and protocols;

· Extended logging features
Sent and received data output without any changes to file. Variable format file forming setting (on time, data, size and etc.);

· Data query modules.
Advanced Serial Data Logger also transmits requests or commands out the serial port to control or query your instruments directly from Advanced Serial Data Logger over ASCII (by default) or MODBUS protocol. Think of Advanced Serial Data Logger as a fully customizable serial I/O device driver.

· Advanced data parsers.
Allow you to parse, filter and format your data. You may define simple rules or use powerful regular exressions;

· Databases support.
Data export to any ODBC-compatible database (MS SQL, Oracle, MS Access, MS Excel, dBase and others);

· Industrial real-time export capabilities.
Advanced Serial Data Logger can run as DDE or OPC server and can public all received data;

· Office products integrations.
Advanced Serial Data Logger can use direct connection (using OLE) to Microsoft Excel and write data directly to rows or columns;

· Auto program restart in showed time.
Allows you to change the program configuration remotely;

· Program message logging
Writing to a file all program messages, so you may diagnose errors and warning;

· Plugins
Many plugin modules that extending program features;

· Simple, menu-driven step by step set-up
Programming is not required to configure the software to collect data;

· Windows service mode.
Advanced Serial Data Logger also is a Windows NT/2000/XP service that records all data received on a serial port to a file on a disk or to other targets so that it starts as soon as the operating system starts and doesn't require a user to log in and run it. It will continue to run even as users logon and logoff the workstation. However, Advanced TCP/IP Data Logger is generic enough to be useful whenever one-way serial traffic needs to be recorded.

· It is extremely easy to use!
The configuration process is fully menu driven and has complete, context sensitive, on-line help. You can easily customize all input to your exact specifications. Once you see how easy it is to use Advanced Serial Data Logger, you will never again take data readings by hand!
