Indigo Serial RS232 Viewer / Logger
A simple, easy to use software tool that allows serial ( RS232 ) communcation to be logged. Designed as an alternative to Windows Hyperterminal by serial device developers. Cheaper and simpler than most alternatives.
Indigo Serial Viewer allows sent and received items to be looked at in either decimal, hex, ascii or raw binary. Very easy to use. Setting up a COM Port is easy… once it is set up anything that comes in on that port will be displayed in the right panel. Any items sent to the port are displayed in the left. An input box is provided for sending text to the port.
I am a developer myself, and made this software for my own use primarily. It can be downloaded using the links below and is also available on several shareware sites such as
