We are interested in purchasing this tool if it have the following features too, they are

1.Selection of SPY mode for a COM(Serial) port after it opened by other tool.
2.Option to specify Start byte for a new line and Count of bytes after the end byte for the present line.

Detailed explanation of the above issues are in attached file

We are not having clarity about the binary file option present in outgoing data file window, please provide the detail information regarding this option

Hello,

1. You may use the build-in scripting engine and pass the script name as a command line parameter.
2. Usually, a NMEA sentence ends with the <CR> character. You may use #0D as the line end.

sir,

1. As you have specified we have gone through the Scripting language commands.But we are not getting correct idea how can we link this commands with our point i.e

Selection of SPY mode for a COM(Serial) port after it opened by other tool.

Please provide us in brief how to perform this action.

2. Also,regarding Newline Concept we have following Issue.
We have a defined Packet structure in our organisation.It is

AA CC 0A 02 03 04 05 06 F7 08 A9 FB BC

In the above data the third byte of packet indicates length of packet excluding the headers(i.e AA CC)

While facing this kind of situations we need the start byte specifier for new line.

How we can achieve this with the present tool?

Please provide us information if there is any alternative regarding this kind of situation.

1. Script:

Code:

MODE spy
INITPORT COM1

save the script to a file

start aspmon.exe using the command:

c:\ProgramFolder\aspmon -f C:\ScriptFolder\script.txt

2. I've added this feature to our to-do list, but I can't say when it will be done.
