USB front end

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

  I'm working on a project that involves data transmission to and from a PC via RS232. On the pc end, I have an RS232-to-USB adaptor. Hence, I need some kind of program to monitor the usb port on my PC and perhaps to also send packets to it. Can someone recommend such a program, as I would rather not take the time to learn how to write one on my own? Thanks!!!  Rajas

Try: http://freeusbanalyzer.com/ 

 Or: Google "usb port monitor"

If it is just a USB-Serial converter, then it should install as a virtual com port. Any terminal program will do (hyperterminal, putty, etc.).

Hi,  

Also you can try others USB sniffing apps like http://www.eltima.com/products/usb-data-logger/ or http://www.virtual-serial-port.org/products/usb-sniffer/

Would it be worth trying software such as USB data Capture by Eltima?
