COM Port Data Emulator emulates a device connected through a COM or an Ethernet port. It generates traffic like a COM, RS232, TCP/IP device.  

Brief description:

COM Port Data Emulator is a tool for emulating a com port or an Ethernet device that generates a serial stream of data. The program can create a data flow, wrap it to data packets (RS232, TCP/IP, or UDP) and send it to a port.

COM Port Data Emulator can help developers or experts test their applications. This program can simplify your work's typical processes: transmit RS232 or IP data from your various data sources, view and log responses, and much more.

Our software can read a data stream from a text or a binary file or generate random data packets. You may send data repeatedly.

What problems can be solved with COM Port Data Emulator - Freeware?

Our software is ideal for numerous types of applications: software developers, network technicians, technical Support Staff, SCADA/telemetry engineers, telecom engineers, application developers. With this software's help, you can playback your log file and test/configure your software without a device connected to a PC. You can generate a random data flow and test your system/software/hardware stability in this situation.

Getting started is easy. COM Port Data Emulator - Freeware is ready!

After installation, you may locate a program icon on the desktop or in the Start → Programs menu and launch COM Port Data Emulator. Then select the COM number, communication parameters, configure a data source and click the "Start" button. The program will start generating data flow.
