232Analyzer supports command input and keeps log of the sent and
received data in Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary, or
ASCII format. These options are useful and necessary for the
following reasons:
- Machines use Binary for communication - either ON (1) or OFF (0).
It is difficult for human beings to understand as we already got
used to Decimal, but that is how machines communicate.
- Different manufacturers use different data formats in their
protocol documentation. Some use Hexadecimal, some use Decimal,
others use ASCII. With these options, it is not necessary for you to convert data from
one format to another from time to time.
- Sometimes we need to
know which bit is turned ON or OFF for data verification. In such
situations, viewing in
Binary format becomes the best option.
