New Data Acquisition Software for Laboratory Instruments

Windmill Software are pleased to announce a new version of the ComDebug data logging and com port trouble-shooting software. What's more, it is free to every subscriber to their Monitor newsletter. The new version: logs data from serial instruments - balances, GPS receivers, RFID readers, pH transmitters, titrators, particle analysers, data loggers and so on; works with Windmill 7 64-bit, as well as other versions of Windows; and lets users enter and record data in Hexadecimal, ASCII or binary format. The software collects data from instruments connected to the PC's com port over RS232, RS422, RS485 and Modbus. A terminal emulator lets users trouble-shoot serial port connections. Even though there is no charge for the software, Windmill Software provide free technical support for it for life.

When monitoring com port communications, users can see all bytes sent and received, including non-printing characters like carriage returns. This is crucial when dealing with binary data. With ComDebug uses can quickly identify and correct communication errors. ComDebug runs under all versions of Windows, from Windows 7 64-bit down to Windows 95.
