Protocols

Protocol decoding, in the Professional edition

Six protocol plugins ship with the build, and decoding is a Professional feature: in the free, trial and standard editions the Protocol and Modbus views stay visible, but every decoded value is replaced by ****.

What each plugin decodes
Protocol What you get Where to look
Modbus RTU Function code, register address and CRC decoded into fields Protocol, Modbus
Modbus ASCII The same fields, ASCII framing Protocol, Modbus
DL/T 645 Metering frames recognised and decoded Protocol
IEC 60870-5-101 Telecontrol frames recognised and decoded Protocol
NMEA 0183 GNSS sentences recognised and decoded Protocol
AT commands Command and response lines recognised Protocol

Plugins can be enabled, disabled and reordered in Settings. The mask is not a capture limit: frames, lengths, directions, timestamps and raw bytes are always there - only the decoded values are replaced by ****.

Try it on your own ports

Install it, pick a port and start capturing. Your own software keeps the port.
