Windmill ComDebug: serial communication software lets you log data from almost any instrument connected to your PC's COM or TCP/IP port.

Windmill are pleased to release a new version of our ComDebug program which lets you communicate with almost any RS232, RS422, RS485, Modbus or TCP/IP device. What's more, it's free! Its extensive trouble-shooting capabilities make it ideal for solving comms problems, or for quickly checking that you can communicate with your instrument before starting to automatically acquire data. The new version lets you enter and display data in Hexadecimal, ASCII or binary format; works with Windows 8, 7 64-bit, as well as other versions of Windows; and can log data to disk from your serial instrument: laboratory balance, GPS, pH electrode, data logger, etc.

ComDebug Features


No Programming Required

Simply select your communication settings or type your instrument's commands: no need for any programming.

Serial Driver Software

What sort of Devices can you Read with ComDebug?

With ComDebug you can control both those serial devices that continuously output messages, and those that require commands before supplying data. With a flexible approach to building command strings, and parsing the received data strings to extract data values, the majority of analytical instruments are supported. These include altimeters, balances, conductivity meters, data loggers, dial gauges, digital indicators, digital thermometers, DMR, extensometers, flaw detectors, fluorometers, force gauges, gas analysers, GPS, gyro compasses, hygrometers, I2C devices, ion gauges, load meters, motion sensors, multimeters, myographs, oxygen electrodes, particle analysers, pH meters, PIC microcontrollers, plcs, pressure transmitters, power analysers, RLC meters, RFID readers, thermoregulators, titrators, solar panel array controllers, sonar and water baths.

You have the freedom to mix and match equipment from many different manufacturers in many combinations. For example, serial devices from Acculab, A&D, Advantec, Ashtec, Avery Berkel, B&B Electronics, Bruël & Kjær, Campbell Scientific, Crosstalk Security, Dataq Instruments, Daily RFID, Dataq Instruments, Datel, Datataker, Denver, Desoutter, Ecom, Fisher, Fluke, Funaro, Garmin, Honeywell, Horiba, Humminbird, ICP DAS, Linkcom, Magellan, Maxim, Mettler Toledo, MecMesin, Metrix, Microchip Technology, Mitutoyo, Motorola, Molytek, Newmar, NovAtel, NovAtel, Nu-Metrics, Omnistar, Omron, Orion, Panametrics, Parallax, Parker, Protek, Quantum Logic, Remontec, Rockwell, San Jose, Sartorius, SecuMaster Technologies, SG Brown, Siemens, Sokkia, Sylvac, Telegan, Transcell, Tritech, TTi, TSS, Turner Designs, Varian SenTorr, Veris, Voltcraft, Weeder Technologies, Weilheimn, WTW and World Precision Instruments have all been handled by Windmill. Many channels of data can be accepted from each instrument.

"I would recommend ComDebug to any one who has to trouble shoot a serial card problem. I used it to locate a defective com card which the manufacturer said could not be. "

"Your software works great; it's the only package that allows me to set the DTR line low...required by the TI (Texas Instruments) development board configuration."

"ComDebug solved a problem I had debugging Phytron motor controllers"

"ComDebug helped me solve an HP-IL (old Hewlett-Packard interface) to RS-232 interfacing problem."

"Used it to simulate the data output of a Resistance Weld Control into our Web enabled PLC (programmable logic controller)."

"This is a great tool for reading the ASCII commands your DVR is sending."


Monitor Serial Port Communications


With ComDebug you can see the state of the serial port input lines and
control the state of the PC's serial port output lines.
For details of what each line does see our RS232 connections page.

ComDebug Terminal Screen
The Terminal screen lets you send commands and data to the instrument,
and view the reply. For those instruments that require it,
you can send an acknowledgement when the reply is received. .
