Hello
I have a device that produces 'endless' serial data that I need to interpret with my PLC. The string has an occasional character within that I daresay I can recognise (ie use this as an end-of-line type character to make sense of what's preceeded it).
This device isn't is my possession, so I need some way of simulating it. I use a few Windows programs (ComDebug being the best) to generate serial strings from my laptop's Com port, but none which I can make produce 'any' data repeatedly. And fast.
Does the collective have an idea of some piece of software I can setup to fire 232 strings endlessly out of my pc to simulate this piece of junk to which I'm trying to interface?
Thanks
