OK, I got it.
Now I use a free virtual serial port emulator, configured 2 bridged ports, on the one end my program, on tho other end the Advanced Serial Port Monitor with ASCII-Plugin in manual mode.
Works fine.

Problem solved.

Hello,

it looks like as you use 2 port monitors in manual mode with the plugin. I have a program on my pc which I want to test against an emulated instrument on a com port. So I used the spymode. When I look into the source code of the plugin there is the following statement in the function OnDataExchange:

if DataSent or (DataSize<=0)then exit; // for example, if the program works in the spy mode

does that mean, I cannot use the spy modus?
BTW is it possible to get the SDK library (I have Delphi XE)

Hi,

I want to emulate a measurement instrument connectet to com1:
When I send "ID?<CR><LF>" from a terminal emulation to the instrument, it answers with an ID-string.
I have configured in the plugin: Request: ID?#0D#0A and Answer: SOMETHING#0D#0A and use the monitor in spy modus with the plugin open. I have a german installation, version 4.4.6 build 324.
I had no success so far also using other combinations for request/answer.

Does anybody have any idea?

Regards
Horst
