SANA A small protocol analyser for the RS232 Interface
-------------------------------------------------------------
1) Short Introduction
----------------------
By using this program you are able to display any character
that's sended or received across a serial connection.
This is very helpful, if you are implementing a more complicated
serial protocol like ISO T=1 or XMODEM.
To monitor a serial connection you need a second PC with two
serial ports.Connect the one commu. partener to COM1 and the other
to COM2 and start SANA.SANA will bridge the connection and display
all bytes.
As a special feature, you are able to choose different parameters for
each port, so you can convert baudrates, parity settings and so one.
The program is able to transfer data up to 115KBaud, but if you
activate the implemented capture function, it is possible that the
time gaps between two chars will grow.
1a) Used software
-----------------
I used the shareware version of the ASYNC library by Nordtech Research
which is available on the Microsoft Languages - Forum in CompuServe.
The program was written in C, using version 7.00 of Microsoft's C -
Compiler.
1b) Bugs / History
------------------
You will see, that this is this first version of SANA, so if you
find a bug or something that should be implemented in another
way, please send me a message via CompuServe !
2.) Using SANA
--------------
For monitoring a connection start SANA on the monitor - PC and select
the parameters used on the line. Connect your other equiptment as
usual.
By pressing F8 you can choose the way the data is displayed
(hexadecimal,decimal or ASCII).
By pressing F9 you can activate/deactivate the CAPTURE function.
If you activate it, every byte is written to a file.
Two files are created on the current directory ,
INFILE.CAP and OUTFILE.CAP, which each contents the data of one
commu. partner.To exit, just press ESC
I think, using this program is very simple, isn't it ?
So, I think there's nothing more to say abouta so simple program !
Enjoy it and report all errors to me ...
