Innovative Serial Spy is a software only based serial port monitor for Windows that allows you to monitor and record the serial port's activity between any Windows application and an attached RS232 device. Innovative Serial Spy supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2000/2003 Server.

Innovative Serial Spy inserts itself silently between any serial communication application and the serial port. No special hardware or setup is required. It will work with any serial port detected by Windows.
