A development tool for serial communication protocols (RS232, RS485/422 and others). Applications include: Simulating serial protocols. Logging RS232 data. Detecting specific data sequences. Responding to incoming data. Docklight allows you to monitor the communication between two serial devices or to test the serial communication of a single device. Docklight can send out user-defined sequences according to the protocol used and it can react to incoming sequences. This makes it possible to simulate the behavior of a serial communication device, which is particularly useful for generating test conditions that are hard to reproduce with the original device (e.g. problem conditions).
