Eltima Software has developed **[Modbus Tester Software](https://www.eltima.com/modbus-tester-software.html)** which can analyze Modbus messages that use either the RTU or ASCII protocol. An intuitive user interface and flexible advanced filtering capabilities enable you to view data in a user-friendly manner. Use of this Modbus Tester can be instrumental in developing and optimizing serial applications and in testing serial devices.

**[Download Serial Port Monitor](https://www.eltima.com/products/serial-port-monitor/)**

This professional-grade Modbus test software allows you to perform these functions:

 * Connect with serial ports that are already in use by another program. Once connected, you can begin monitoring the interface immediately. You can track issues as they occur with the real-time data display provided by the Modbus test program.

 * Monitor and analyze the data flow of multiple serial ports in one monitoring session. Data moving in both directions from a number of serial ports can be monitored and recorded in a combined log file. Data is captured on a first-in-first-out basis making it easy to follow the transmissions from the various ports being monitored.

 * This Modbus RTU tester lets you employ different data views when monitoring and analyzing your serial throughput. Choose from terminal, table, dump and line views. Additional customization can be performed using the tool’s data filters.

 * Perform a [Modbus communication test](https://www.eltima.com/article/modbus-tester-guide/) of the data transferred to a serial device. This will enable you to determine how it will react to a variety of different commands.




**Master and Slave Modbus Simulators**




**[QmodMaster](https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmodmaster/)** is a Qt-based application that allows you to simulate a Modbus master. This free software can be used to analyze traffic in the role of a bus monitor and includes a detailed user interface.

**[SimplyModbusMaster](http://www.simplymodbus.ca/RTUmaster.htm)** – This tool displays your data in a single window and can simulate a Modbus Master in both the RTU and ASCII protocols. Using this application lets you monitor Modbus master requests and allows you to simulate a Modbus ASCII or RTU slave device. The interface uses two windows. One is used for displaying and modifying the setting while the other presents the data.

**[Modbus data Sniffer](https://www.eltima.com/modbus-sniffer.html)** - Monitoring and analyzing Modbus transmissions is the main function of this professional software solution.

**[Modbus Poll](http://www.modbustools.com/modbus_poll.html)** can simulate a Modbus master and simultaneously monitor multiple slaves or data areas. It provides users with a multiple document interface for advanced monitoring. The Test Center can be used by developers to create and send test data strings and view the results in hexadecimal format.
