RealTerm

RealTerm is a terminal software solution that enables network administrators to capture, manage or debug binary and other data streams. If you are looking for a tool that can debug dialing modems or BBS, you might need to keep on looking as RealTerm does not support such devices.
Its interface is meant to be as intuitive as possible, as each main function is detailed in its own tab - for instance, you can customize the display among various types, such as ASCII, Ansi, Hex, binary, Int8, ASCII+Hex and others, thus changing the way the received characters are displayed in the terminal.
You can also modify the port, the parity and the data bits, so to come up with a configuration that best suits your needs.
RealTerm allows you to specify the location of the TXT file where the incoming data will be captured, with the possibility to insert a timestamp at the beginning of each line.
The other tabs from the main window of RealTerm can be used to configure software flow control, digital connection or hardware flow control.
One of the benefits of RealTerm is that it comes with support for hotkeys, which can help you save a lot of time when handling difficult data streams, thus allowing you to focus more on the debugging process than on operating the application.
All in all, RealTerm provides users with numerous functions that enable them to debug binary or other types of data streams, yet advanced skills are required in order to make the most of its features.
Novices will most likely be overwhelmed by the plethora of technical terms and the many settings the app comes with, so they will not appreciate its true value.
