rs232 man in the middle
What would the functionality requirements of an RS323 protocol analyzer be?
I have some experience in writing RS232 based software and most of the time write my own quick analyzer for the protocol issues i wanna debug.
Now I would like to write a more general RS232 analyzer on PC. If you have idea's about functionality, configurations, ... (I was thinking about start-stop sequences, data formatting and field highlighting, crc checking (might be difficult to support all crc algorithms (but perhaps a plugin might work here ;-) )) Indication of length / type and format accordingly
Formatting might be specified in an xml like syntax ...
Please post them in this thread and try to be specific!
(And don't come with GUI things for now please!!! First i wanna work on the core functionality!)
Off course the software will be available for free on elektroda (source might be difficult because of copyright reasons with my employer!)
I cannot make promisses on the time it will take (or if it will be there ever). It's a project I will do in my spare time and i seem to have very little of it lately (renovating a house is timeconsuming ;-) )
But I will give it a try
