How to monitor usb:serial port traffic

[Baja juan]

Hello everybody.

unfortunately im not very good with software yet, but im trying to learn.

my question is, if i have a device which is operated by serial port, thru a usb to serial converter, is it possible to monitor whats happening?

so i want to see what the pc and device are saying to each other.

is there a software that does that?

thanks.

Download PuTTY open source software

PuTTY is an SSH and telnet client for the Windows platform.
And the most used software for this type of application.

A com port connection is for 2 devices only (one in each end)

So you will need to connect to the line in parallel with independent pc (RX only) 2 wires pin 2 and 5
