Extron DataViewer (part number 79-502-01) — free enhanced terminal emulation software for analyzing communication with Extron devices.

Diagnosing a stubborn control or serial issue usually comes down to seeing exactly what a device is sending and receiving, and DataViewer is built for that job. It opens RS-232, USB, or TCP/IP connections to an Extron device, sends commands, and displays the raw responses in either ASCII or hexadecimal, with user-definable colors and fonts to keep commands and responses visually distinct while a technician works through a protocol issue.
