Test and analyze the parameters of connections between serial devices and simulate port activity to optimize their performance. The utility is compatible with RS232, RS485/422, and other standards and works with Bluetooth and Arduino ports. ASCII, HEX, decimal and binary data are accessible.
Docklight is a program that allows users to manage communication between serial devices, which is quite useful when having to generate test conditions that are very hard to reproduce with the original device.
The program is wrapped in a decent-looking interface, composed of the main section area, a left side panel, a tab menu, and a few action buttons. The interface offers great response time to the user actions but it provides basic display options, such as a background color selector or text output. Not to mention that the menu icons seem quite small in contrast to the size of the program's main window.
As you start using the program, you discover that in order to function at the right parameters, the program uses a high amount of system resources which might cause your computer to freeze.
One of the most important features of the program is the way it responds to incoming data. Docklight allows you to build a basic simulator for your device thanks to an option that lets you specify user-defined answers to the different communication sequences received. In addition to that, all serial communication data can be logged using two different file formats - you can choose either plain text or an HTML file. more
