3.5 Tracing Serial/IP COM Port Data
The Serial/IP Trace window can be invaluable in solving
difficult configuration problems by showing all interactions
between the client application and the remote device. The
data displayed can be saved to a file to be examined off-line
or sent to others for analysis.
To see the Trace display, right-click the Serial/IP icon in the
Windows system tray and choose Trace.
To begin collecting and displaying trace data, check the
Enable Trace box at the bottom of the window.
Using Tracing
To collect trace data:
1. Log on to Windows.
2. Bring up the Trace window and check the Enable Trace checkbox.
3. Start the application that uses Serial/IP COM ports.
4. Recreate the problem condition that you are debugging.
5. Allow the Trace window to show and record activity on the Serial/IP COM ports. Activity for all Serial/IP
COM Ports will appear.
6. To save the trace data for future review, use the File pull-down menu option and select "Save As." Give
the file a name and directory destination. The contents of the display are saved in a *.silog binary file
format. Files saved in this format can be opened later in the Serial/IP Port Monitor window with all
information preserved.
