10.6. Debugging the DTE interface

A hardware-based serial RS232 monitoring product, such as the Parascope Plus, is an invaluable tool for debugging the DTE/DCE Interface. It captures and records details of DTE - DCE interaction. Hexadecimal and bit- shifted views are possible, and it timestamps every character exchanged with much greater precision than a software-based monitor. It is sold by FETEST at http://www.fetest.com.
