All the necessary tools for a technician who needs to use RS232 lines. The case includes: MSB-RS232 Analyzer serial analyzer with pre-installed SWO option, W232 cable, LEDTEST9 Led Tester, the most common Gender Changers GCD9MD9M, GCD9FD9F, GCNULL and a LOOPBACK plug.

In addition to the aforementioned, the case contains the MSB-RS232 analyzer, which is an essential tool for analyzing and optimizing RS232 connections. 
It autonomously collects precise information on every change on the line with microsecond accuracy, independent of the PC and its operating system.

Equipped with a multitude of visualization tools, it allows for a detailed view into every RS232 communication and detects conditions that can only be recorded by a *hardware solution*.
Simply insert the analyzer into any RS232 cable and connect it via USB to the computer.

**Why use an analyzer?**

A software solution cannot provide the same data offered by this device.
With the MBR-RS232 analyzer, you can examine the temporal relationships and exact sequences of all data and level variations, with the help of:

- Temporal details of events independent of the operating system (1us resolution)
- Graphical view of the logical signal of all lines (including RXD, TXD), internal sampling frequency up to 16 MHz
- Measurement and setting of baud rate from 1 Baud to 1 MBaud
- Automatic scanner protocol for baud rate, data bits, and parity

**Features and Benefits**

The MSB-RS232 analyzer offers all the necessary features for effective examination of RS232 connections. 
Especially for debugging, logging, testing, and *reverse engineering*.

The software to connect with the analyzer is sold together with the product and is compatible with all Windows operating systems and Linux. No other software or libraries are required on the PC.
