Serialterm V1.1
This serial terminal program (serialterm) is a command line tool that was developed for debugging microcontroller hardware that is connected to the PC via serial line. The program reads characters from the keyboard and sends them them to the selected com-port (a option for local echo is given). At the same time it reads characters from the serial port and displays them on the screen in ASCII, decimal or hexadecimal style. The separator between displayed characters can be set to space, tab, newline, or 'nothing'. The output can be saved to a log-file.
