Does Windows XP have a feature that logs serial port transmissions to & from any connected device, not just modems? Do I need a special program to do this? I have a Radio Shack PRO-95 frequency scanner that can have its 1000 channels loaded from a serial port, but Radio Shack won't give me the specs for reading and writing data to the scanner. We have a Dell Precision M90 laptop running Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit, Intel Centrino Duo, and USB serial ports. Our goal is to connect the laptop to the Agilent 34970A with an RS-232 to USB adapter for.

There is a program that will do this but it doesn't have all the features I want, so I want to write my own but I need to know the protocols for downloading and uploading channels to the scanner.
I figure if I can log the data transmissions from this program, I might be able to figure out the protocol so I can write my own utility.

There's a demo period, which may be enough time to do what you want to do.
Tip- start the logger first, then use whatever other program that uses the comm port.

'portmon' from SysInternals (www.sysinternals.com) lets you capture from serial ports, parallel ports and log all the resulting data to a file. Logs record all serial IOCTLs so can be voluminous. Very useful though.

I have used HHD Software's USB logger, and it's.fantastic.: It was fantastic enough that I bought the Serial logger sight unseen. Very good investment.
