Our new comDebug program lets you communicate with almost any RS232, RS422, RS485 or Modbus serial device. Whats more, its free! Its extensive trouble-shooting capabilities make it ideal for solving comms problems, or for quickly checking that you can communicate with your instrument before starting to automatically acquire data.


Features



  • No programming required
  • Free technical support for life
  • Easy to use
  • Understands ASCII or binary data
  • For serial instruments that continually send data and those that need prompting
  • Quickly identify and correct communication errors

  • Insert cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs)
  • Send ASCII values, 16-bit 2s complement integers, unsigned integers, single bits of data, etc, to instruments
  • Control the state of the PCs serial port output lines
  • See the state of the serial port input lines
  • Send acknowledgements
  • Save settings in a file
  • Full hypertext Help
  • Up to 38400 baud
  • For Windows 95 and later
  • Optionally, with the new Windmill COMIML or free LabIML serial driver, continually send data from the instrument to the Windmill logging, charting and other data acquisition applications, or to third-party Windows software like Excel

No Programming Required


Simply select your communication settings or type your instruments commands: no need for any programming.


Serial Driver Software


What sort of Devices can you Read with comDebug?


With comDebug you can control both those serial devices that continuously output messages, and those that require commands before supplying data. With a flexible approach to building command strings, and parsing the received data strings to extract data values, the majority of analytical instruments are supported. These include GPS, sonar, DMR, gas analysers, pH transmitters, data loggers, titrators, particle analysers, pressure transmitters, water baths, hygrometers, I2C devices, plcs and laboratory scales.


You have the freedom to mix and match equipment from many different manufacturers in many combinations. For example, serial devices from A&D, Anton Paar, Ashtec, Bruël & Kjær, Datel, Datataker, Ecom, Edge Tech, Electro Industries, Fisher, Furuno, Garmin, Honeywell, Horiba, Mettler Toledo, Motorola, Molyteck, Newmar, NovAtel, Nu-Metrics, Omnistar, Omron, Orion, Parallax, Paroscientific, Patton, Phytron, Quantum Logic, Quest Scientific, Sartorius, Siemens, Telegan, Telemecanique, Texas Instruments, Transcell and TTi have all been handled by Windmill. Many channels of data can be accepted from each instrument.

“I would recommend ComDebug to any one who has to trouble shoot a serial card problem. I used it to locate a defective com card which the manufacturer said could not be. ”
Doyal J. McVicker Jr.


“Your software works great; its the only package that allows me to set the DTR line low…required by the TI (Texas Instruments) development board configuration.”
R E Rogers



“comDebug solved a problem I had debugging Phytron motor controllers”
J Stirling



“comDebug helped me solve an HP-IL (old Hewlett-Packard interface) to RS-232 interfacing problem.”
M O Tjebben



“Used it to simulate the data output of a Resistance Weld Control into our Web enabled PLC (programmable logic controller).”
J Franks

  13. Integrate Serial ATA (SATA) Drivers In Windows XPOne problem found in lots of newest computers or notebooks are fitted with a SATA interface hard drive that not all recognized by Windows XP installer. It would ask the SATA driver for the hardware and you must provide it before continue to installing the rest processes.It is because Microsoft now stopped Windows XP selling product to new computer purchasing in order to overcoming Windows Vista. Now these days, new computers or notebooks product which has the requirement hardware are now capable to use it.It will run, but slow.To make it double faster running OS, try to using Windows XP.For example,an Acer sub-notebook are comes with 80 GB SATA hard drive.From the selling box, Acer recommended to use Windows Vista hence there are no Windows XP driver CD software included.So there will no chance to installing it with Windows XP since the installer didn’t recognized the SATA interface.Acer website provides all of the Windows XP drivers software, including the SATA driver to support the Windows XP installation. So, how to integrating the bootable installer with the SATA driver software..?First of all, get the SATA driver manufactured from your hardware factory website (Acer link) & download nLitehttp://www.nliteos.com/download.htmlInstall nliteTo create a custom Windows XP installer (note that you need .NET Framework 2.0 available from Microsoft download site before running the nLite).Next, from nLite application, browse to the Windows XP CD installer (I’m not responsible to any legally use of Windows XP installer).Then, press Drivers & Bootable ISO button to inserting the SATA drivers & continue to create an ISO image to burn in a CD:Clicking on Next button, you will be prompted to inserting from the source disk of SATA drivers software.Insert the source disk contain SATA driver files:Finally, confirmed with YES button to continue to burning the ISO image:After it finished, let it try to boot from this bootable CD next to your computer or notebook....
