CoolTerm is a simple serial port terminal application (no terminal emulation) that is geared towards hobbyists and professionals with a need to exchange data with hardware connected to serial ports such as servo controllers, robotic kits, GPS receivers, microcontrollers.

What is new in this release:

Version 1.5:

  • Added configuration option for software supported flow control.
  • Added configuration option for blocking keystrokes while transmit data flow is halted.
  • Added printing for plain text and hex views.
  • Added proxy settings to preferences (for update check).
  • Changed preferences window to multi-tab concept.
  • Made formatting of captured hex data configurable.
  • It is now possible to use the 'Wait for termination string' option when capturing in hex format as long as formatting of hex data is disabled.
  • Added "Packet Delay" option, which allows inserting a delay after the transmission of each packet, the size of which can now be specified via the connection settings GUI.
  • The "Line Delay" option now supports matching all of the specified delay characters in addition to matching any of them. This allows for entire strings to be specified as line delay characters.

What is new in version 1.4.7:

Version 1.4.7:

  • Added option to specify a custom file name for auto capture files when "Append to auto capture file" is enabled.

What is new in version 1.4.6:

Version 1.4.6:

  • Added the option to automatically start file capture upon loading connection settings.
  • Added option to append new data to auto capture files.
  • Added option to filter ANSI escape sequences. If this option is enabled, ANSI sequence characters will be filtered in ASCII view mode.
  • Added preference option to enable condensing the line spaces in plain text view mode (not available in Universal Binary builds).
  • [Win][Linux] Added code to ensure that only one instance of CoolTerm is running on the system at the same time
  • Added code to ensure that a connection settings file can only be opened once.
  • Added preference option to show or hide the toolbar.
  • Added UTF-8 support for plain text view.
  • Updated preferences dialog to display extended character set.

What is new in version 1.4.5:

New/changed features:

  • Added new option to handle End Of Text (EOT, ASCII code 4) characters. Enabling this feature will prevent the display from updating until a EOT character is received, at which time the display is updated with the contents from the receive buffer.
  • Added code to present the user with the option to select a serial port if a loaded settings file includes an empty string for the port name. This allows the creation of generic settings files.
