[] Introductions of "Trust Design Simple Serial Line Communication Monitor"

  + This program runs on Windows PC to monitor communication using RS232C Serial Line.

  + This program can be made to function as a RS232C <--> TCP/IP conversion relay by specifying a
    COM port for serial communication on one port and a TCP/IP port for the other port.

  + Monitoring is performed by a relay method using this AP as a repeater.

  + Communication data can be displayed on the screen in various formats in real time, and can be
    stored in same format in log file if specified.

  + When the communication data is a SECS message, communication message can be analyzed in SECS-2
    format, and message display in SML format is performed.
    Therefore, it can also be used as a SECS(SECS-1,SECS-2) monitor.


  + For development of communication system by SECS/HSMS, our SECS/HSMS communication package (Trust
    Design Simple SECS Communication Library) is available.
    For more information, please visit our home page.

  + You can use SECS/HSMS simulator (Trust Design simple SECS/HSMS Simulator (Simplified Version))
    as an inspection application to simulate communication processing (host side, device side) by
    SECS-1 and HSMS-SS, HSMS-GS is released.
    For more information, please visit our home page.

  + You can use SECS/HSMS protocol converter program (Trust Design Simple SECS/HSMS Protocol
    converter) is released.
