 DESCRIPTION

This little tool shows all incomming seriell data and print
it to the standard output ( Shell window or use ">" to pipe to a output file).
A incomming byte has this output style: Example: a ASCII "A"
$ 65	01000001	A
  |	    |		|
 Hex	 Binary	      Ascii


Only real Alphanumeric characters are shown as Ascii, so "$A" will not perform
a linefeed.


Device parameter settings:
--------------------------
Type "Sersnoop ?" to get a command list overview.
Without setting any parameter, SerSnoop uses default settings.


Defaultsettings:
-----------------
DEVICE	 = serial.device
UNIT     = 0
BAUDRATE = 1200
STOPBITS = 1


LED on.
SHOWTIME,SPACESTEP and HOLDPORT off.



Possible Parameter:
-------------------
DEVICE	= <name of the device to be observed>
UNIT 	= <unit number of the device>
STOPBITS= <number of stopbits>	
BAUDRATE= <Transfer Speed>

SHOWTIME    Print out time/date information at every Snoop Activation/Deactivation.
NOLED       Disable the funny display information of the last transmitted byte.
SPACESTEP=  <number of lines wihout printing a space (linefeed)>
HOLDPORT =  Using the PAUSE Button, SnoopSer free the serial.port. This option
            forces SnoopSer to hold the device at PAUSE.
ASYNCMODE=  Force SnoopSer to use the SendIO() methode, this mode ist more system
            friendly ( no polling.. ). But i have sometimes problems with multiface
	    cards in this mode... 8-(


Usage example: Snooping a serial (PC) Mice on a Multifacecard on port 1 with 
Time & LED output and remanent port allocation:

SerSnoop DEVICE=duart.device UNIT=1 SHOWTIME HOLDPORT



GUI Controlls:
--------------
PAUSE	-   Deactivate Snooping.
SNOOP   -   Reactivate Snooping.
Use the Closegadget to quit program.



 REQUIREMENTS
 
Workbench 3.0+
68000+





Comment:
-------
I create this little tool Sunday the 23.02.07 for Dirk Düsterberg, he
needs a tool to snoop serial input and show the incomming data
(non Ascii characters) in Hex, for his new PIC based Project.
