Description

Comscope is serial terminal for low-level debugging of protocols using non-ascii characters or for easy scripting communications over serial port. Comscope displays all communication going over serial port, differentiated by color (unless explicitly disabled). Color codes are as follows:

• green - printable data sent to serial port
• cyan - non-printable data sent to serial port, as escape sequences
• red - printable data received from serial port
• magenta - non-printable data received from serial port, as escape sequences

Comscope has two modes of operation. Input from terminal (stdin) and input from external application. Comscope closes at end of file, so file redirection and and pipes can be used with comscope. For more sophisticated scripting you can use -e parameter to supply command to execute. This command is passed to shell. Standart input and output are then redirected to serial port and communication is displayed on the terminal.
