Does anyone know of such a software tool that can monitor and help to analyze the communication through a parallel port? I am interested in what are sent to and received from the port on byte level and line state changes. |
support. What you want has to go trhough the driver.

work on Linux if there is some really good support available.
I searched the web and found PortMon
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Portmon.html
simply does not work on Win2K Pro, and ParMon
http://www.geekhideout.com/parmon.shtml
only has limited functions.
Any advice is appreciated.

to conform to you rneeds. Of course that is nearly impossible
to do for Windows.
There is also the option to monitor the signal lines themselves, e.g.
with an I/O card and a second PC. Depends on what you want to do.

For Linux the best IMO would be to hack the PP driver to conform to you rneeds. Of course that is nearly impossible to do for Windows. There is also the option to monitor the signal lines themselves, e.g. with an I/O card and a second PC. Depends on what you want to do. Thank you. |
