Introducing Serial Tap Pro, The Answer to All Your Serial Needs!
Tibbo’s excited to unveil Serial Tap Pro, the next-generation hardware sniffer designed for professionals working with RS232, RS485, and TTL-level UART communications. Seamlessly integrated with IO Ninja, Serial Tap Pro delivers unparalleled accuracy, visibility, and control over your serial data streams.
What’s New with Serial Tap Pro?
In addition to the original Serial Tap’s tapping capabilities, Serial Tap Pro introduces a number of extremely useful new features and improvements:
Electrical Isolation
Serial Tap Pro features full galvanic isolation across all serial lines, protecting both your computer and the target device from ground loops, voltage spikes, and electrical noise, a must for industrial environments.
High Baud Rates
Serial Tap Pro is built for high-performance serial analysis and supports significantly higher baud rates. The tap can operate at up to 2.5 Mbps
Guaranteed Byte-Perfect Sequencing
Serial Tap Pro ensures byte-perfect sequencing, capturing every event, from sent and received bytes to line state changes and error conditions, in the exact chronological order that they happened. This level of precision is essential for understanding the actual flow of communication between devices.
Microsecond-Precision Hardware Timestamps
Get fine-grained insight with µs-precision timestamps for all events. Perfect for timing analysis, flow control debugging, and syncing across multiple systems
Support for 9-bit Data Frames
9-bit format support makes the tap compatible with systems that have a 9th bit for addressing or control signaling, common with multidrop serial interfaces.
RS485 Data Direction Detection
In shared RS485 lines, it’s hard to tell which device is transmitting. Serial Tap Pro solves this by sitting in-line between two partitioned bus segments and detecting traffic direction, letting you identify the source of packets in real time.
Packet Injection
Inject custom packets and control line states directly from your PC. This powerful feature transforms Serial Tap Pro into an all-in-one USB-to-serial adapter for emulation, fault injection, and automated testing.
Think Serial Tap Pro Can Help You?
Detailed documentation explaining how each of Serial Tap Pro’s advanced features work is available in the IO Ninja User Manual, making setup easy, even if you aren’t sure how to connect devices. So what are you waiting for?
