Description
The EZ-Tap™ is a passive RS-232 tap module that lets you monitor serial communication between two devices without interrupting the connection. It uses a dual COM port approach — no inline breakout box, no bulky cabling, no disruption to your live signal.
Compatible with Stratus Engineering’s free EZ-View monitoring software as well as most third-party dual COM port and serial port monitoring programs. Supports baud rates up to 230400. Driver software for MS Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10.
For baud rates above 9600, we recommend the EZ-Tap Pro™.
