SimpleTerm Gold

SimpleTerm Gold is a COM port monitoring solution designed to supervise the communication between your computer and a RS232-compatible device. The program can also send data through the monitored port in order to simulate the communication with the connected device.

You can use this application for checking the communication with certain devices or to send commands through the computer’s COM ports. It is also a practical tool for debugging when you need to send data by using COM or serial ports.

The interface of the program is flexible and allows you to enter the data that needs to be sent or run certain macros. The package includes several samples and allows you to create the macros suitable for your project.

In order to use the application your computer must have a COM port available for communication. You can use the automatic detection tool for accessing the list of available ports and select the one that you need to use. The port parameters such as the baud rate and the parity are displayed in the main toolbar.

The Communication Screen allows you to enter the commands as ASCII or hexadecimal characters and supports syntax highlighting. You can also examine the data in binary, decimal or hexadecimal format.

This tool includes data capture tools that enable you to intercept the communication and save it to a local file. You can analyze the store information in the desired format and calculate the CRC checksum for certain data segments.

The program has the option to run macros automatically at startup which enables you to create a list of tasks that should be performed each time the program is launched.

While the program is designed for technicians with experience in analysing port data, the package includes an extensive documentation that explains all the available features.

Whether you need to capture data from a serial port or send data to a connected device, you should try the SimpleTerm Gold application to fully assess its capabilities.
