What is SI_SCOPE?
| SI_SCOPE is a comprehensive RS232 analyzer for the PC
that has been the choice of professionals world wide since 1994 to debug, analyze, or
reverse engineer serial communications protocols. With SI_SCOPE
you
can eliminate guess work and quickly diagnose problems by viewing
RS232 data and signal changes in real-time from your PC.
SI_SCOPE transforms your PC into an RS232 analyzer without the
need of expensive hardware or plug in boards. All that is required is a PC
or laptop with two available serial ports running Windows Vista, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98,
or 95. SI_SCOPE's 32-bit kernel mode drivers
are engineered for serial analysis allowing
accurate data capture and time stamping from an RS232 line at baud rates up
to 921.6 Kbps. SI_SCOPE can also operate in spy mode, a software
only solution that allows you to view the data flow between any Windows
application and the operating system's serial driver. When in spy mode
SI_SCOPE gives you the ability to debug internal ports and modems on
Windows Vista, XP, and 2000 systems. |

How does SI_SCOPE monitor an RS232 circuit?
In Async mode SI_SCOPE monitors bidirectional communications by tapping the
RS232 circuit with a specially wired passive cable. The communicating devices are
connected to the 25 pin head of the passive cable, and the passive cable 9
pin leads are connected to two serial ports of the PC running SI_SCOPE.
The diagram to the right illustrates how the passive cable operates. When
RS232
data is transmitted from one device to the other the data is routed into the
SI_SCOPE PC while being transmitted to the receiving device. All
RS232 data, signal changes, and error conditions are recorded and time
stamped at the interrupt level by SI_SCOPE'S device drivers. Unlike
other products that poll the Windows communications API, SI_SCOPE'S
interrupt driven design ensures that the sequence of events between the two
devices under test are properly time stamped and recorded. SI_SCOPE can also operate in single port mode to
display one side of an RS232 link, operate in terminal mode allowing you to
interactively transmit and receive with a device under test, or monitor
a half duplex RS485 link (requires the use of an RS485<->RS232 converter or
installation of an RS485 PCI or PCMCIA card).
SI_SCOPE's Async mode drivers support PCI and PCMCIA cards under Windows
Vista, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98,
and 95. The installation program will detect the target operating system and
correctly install the proper kernel mode driver. |
 |
How does Spy mode work?
| Spy mode is a software only solution that does not require any special
cabling or a dedicated port. In Spy mode SI_SCOPE will insert a special
kernel mode driver into
the Windows driver stack and silently monitor the activity between a Windows
program and the operating systems serial driver.
Spy mode will work with any
port enumerated by the Windows serial driver including internal PCI modems and
USB <-> RS232 converters. Spy mode supports Windows Vista, XP, and 2000. |

Is it easy to use?
Very easy! Unlike similar products with cryptic interfaces SI_SCOPE's
user interface requires little or no learning curve. You can be productive with
it out of the box and refer to the online help when needed.
Feature List
 | Async mode support for 32 bit versions of Windows Vista, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98, and 95. |
| Fully configurable RS232 parameters with support for user defined baud rates. |
| Analyze data in ASCII, EBCDIC, and HEX screen formats |
| Control signals (DTR, RTS, DCD, DSR, CTS, and RI) are recorded and time
stamped to the data stream
allowing you to analyze where and when signal changes occur. |
| Line status errors can be recorded and time stamped to the
data stream allowing you to see precisely which device generated the error and
when the error was detected. |
| File Capture option records data to disk as it is captured.
Included conversion program exports captured session into a binary (record format
included in documentation), ASCII, or documented text file. ASCII format
allows for user defined field delimiters for easy integration into third party
word processing and spread sheet programs. |
| For long analyzer sessions the capture file can be automatically archived at a user defined time each day. |
| Capture file can be saved and reloaded into SI_SCOPE
for review at a later time. |
| Programmable triggers allow you to activate and deactivate data
capture based on incoming data streams. Wildcards are supported! |
| ASCII charts, popup rulers, and time cursors provide the tools you need to
analyze serial protocols. |
| Search Engine can scan through captured data for any data pattern,
signal change, or error condition. |
| Time stamps included on every byte with millisecond resolution. |
| Supports any 2 user defined port addresses and any 2 IRQs. Shared IRQ
multi port cards as well as PCMCIA devices for laptops are also supported. |
| Optional Async mode support for USB <-> RS-232
converters. Please note that there is no interrupt level capture
with USB devices. Click here for details. |
| Included Passive Cable allows for bidirectional monitoring
of all data and control signals. |
| Spy mode operation for debugging internal modems and USB - RS232
converters. Please note that
Spy mode requires 32 bit Windows Vista, XP, or Win2K. |
| Supports half duplex RS485 communications analysis and 9 bit protocols
when used with an RS485 converter. |
| When in single port terminal mode SI_SCOPE's macros allow data
sequences to be recorded from the keyboard and then transmitted
at the touch of a key. |
| Comprehensive online manual included in both Windows Help and Adobe PDF
format. |
Will SI_SCOPE work for me?
We guarantee it! If during the first 30 days you are not completely satisfied
with SI_SCOPE you can return it for a refund. So don't waste another
minute trying to find where that protocol bug is, get SI_SCOPE and get
productive again!
