About

Troubleshooting your code's run-time behavior has never been easier. MPLAB® Data Visualizer is a free debugging tool that graphically displays run-time variables in an embedded application. Available as a plug-in for MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) or a stand-alone debugging tool, it can receive data from various sources such as the Embedded Debugger Data Gateway Interface (DGI) and COM ports. You can also track your application's run-time behavior using a terminal or graph. To get started with visualizing data, check out the Curiosity Nano Development Platform and Xplained Pro Evaluation Kits. Capture data streamed from a running embedded target via serial port (CDC) or the Data Gateway Interface (DGI). Concurrently stream data and debug target code using MPLAB® X IDE. Decode data fields at runtime using the Data Stream Protocol format. Visualize the raw or decoded data in a graph as a time series or display the data in a terminal.

About

Serial Port Monitor is a professional software application that allows reading and recording serial data going through your computer’s serial ports. The program is a big help for those who develop and debug software and hardware solutions that use COM ports for serial data transfer. RS232 Port Monitor comes with a slew of powerful features, including advanced filtering and search options, built-in terminal, convenient data visualizers, the ability to record serial communication data to a file, and more. The software has a streamlined and user-friendly interface and doesn’t require any programming skills. There are Professional and Company editions of Serial Port Monitor. When using the software in terminal mode, you can emulate sending some special commands to the monitored port as though they were sent from a monitored application. This way you get the ability to check the reaction of the COM port and device connected to it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Excellent visibility into serial port communications and data traffic. Very useful for debugging Arduino, embedded systems, and USB-to-serial devices. Helps quickly identify baud rate, data formatting, and communication issues.
  • Serial Port Monitor is a highly convenient and effective tool that delivers exactly what it promises. It’s easy to use, even for those without deep programming knowledge, yet powerful enough for professional workflows. The ability to read, record, and analyze serial data in real time is extremely valuable, especially for debugging and development tasks involving COM ports. The built-in terminal and data visualization features stand out, making it simple to interpret communication streams without needing additional tools. Advanced filtering and search options also save a lot of time when working with large volumes of data. Overall, it offers great value for money, particularly considering the breadth of features included.
  • Although I don't have much experience with similar software, I was impressed by Serial Port Monitor right after launching it for the first time. I found the controls intuitive and was immediately able to monitor communication between the computer and BMS.
  • Top software, very easy to use and offers tons of possibilities. I stumbled upon this program by chance and I'm totally thrilled.
  • Effective debugging tool for serial communication with Arduino boards, GPS modules, USB-to-serial adapters, and other DIY hardware. Real-time data monitoring helps spot issues like mismatched baud rates, protocol errors, and unexpected device behavior. Useful for firmware testing, allowing verification of expected data during uploads and troubleshooting firmware/configuration issues. Logging functionality lets you capture serial traffic for later review, making it easier to analyze long test sessions and identify patterns. Educational value, helping you better understand serial protocols, message structures, timing, and device handshakes through hands-on observation. Great for learning and experimenting, including reverse-engineering communication on vintage or hobby devices.

Cons

  • No significant issues encountered during my use. The interface feels somewhat dated, but functionality remains excellent.
  • While the functionality is strong, the design and user interface could benefit from modernization. Compared to current software standards, some elements feel slightly outdated. Improving the visual appeal and user experience would make the tool even more attractive, especially for new users who expect more polished interfaces today.
  • I haven't found any downsides to Serial Port Monitor. Maybe the price, but that's relative, because the pros clearly outweigh the cons.
  • Unfortunately, the software is a bit expensive, but I'm considering spending the money on it anyway.
  • Focused use case — primarily valuable for those working with serial devices and microcontrollers, not general-purpose debugging.
