Docklight / Docklight Scripting For testing applications communication over the serial port it is the best tool for the job. It listens for user defined sequences on serial port and can then trigger a transmission with parameters derived from the input message or function in a script. Free Serial Port Monitor can be successfully used by programmers, beta-testers, software developers, hardware engineers, IT support specialists, industrial control personnel, SCADA software engineers, science technicians, systems integrators, consultants, lab experts, University students.

1. This app can also be used for serial communication with HC-06 and HC-05. This profession version allows the user to send packets of data. Serial COM ports can be accessed through this app and communication can be established between the devices. This is a Terminal app that allows you to send data packets of different formats.
2. To set up a serial terminal connection in HyperTerminal, First enter a name for your connection, click OK. Select your COM port under “connect using”. Click Configure and change the port settings to match the settings required by the device you are connecting to. Click OK again, and the program will attempt to connect.
3. Advanced Serial Port Terminal is specifically developed for establishing connection with a serial port and sending/receiving data on this port. Our terminal serial port application is a must-have utility as it can send and receive various data (ASCII string, binary, octal and hexadecimal), redirects input/output data streams to a specific file, verify and troubleshoot modem settings without overloading serial port.
4. Complete support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10; All basic TCP and UDP utilities in one file, no installation required (just one.EXE file) Implemented Serial Port Terminal is working with the Virtual Serial Ports (COM12 for example). You can check and control all serial port lines (CTS, RTS, DTR, DSR, RI, CD).

Advanced Serial Port Terminal is a session-based, multi-purpose application that provides simple communication interface to connect to any serial port device (modem;fax;GPS;mouse;printer and so on). Whether you want to connect to remote computer using null-modem cable, send or receive various types of data (ASCII string, binary, octal and hexadecimal) over a serial line, redirect input or output data streams into a specified file, monitor data exchange between serial devices, troubleshoot and test modem settings, Advanced Serial Port Terminal by Eltima Software is just for you.
Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows you to open as many serial ports as you like (including virtual serial ports); dynamically change serial port settings without necessity to close and reopen current port; adjust baudrate, databits, parity, stop bits, flow control parameters; save all received bytes into a file for later analysis and lots more. Being a session-based tool, Advanced Serial Port Terminal allows creation of options set and saving them under individual session names for different hosts. Unlike other terminals you may not only send, but also receive and view data in hexadecimal format, switch between dump and terminal view modes, etc, which could be very useful for debugging and testing serial port connections. Highly customizable interface lets you easily customize program interface to your taste and needs.

I have developed an embedded application which requests status information from a device down a communications channel. My customer requires that these will be sent with a specific time period, so what I am looking for is a PC terminal application which can send a text string command repeatedly at a set interval over a period of time. I currently use a serial device tester which can immediately send back a set string when something is sent to it, but I need to control the time period and number of repititions.

Are there any applications (for Windows) out there which can acheive this?

Docklight / Docklight ScriptingFor testing applications communication over the serial port it is the best tool for the job.It listens for user defined sequences on serial port and can then trigger a transmission with parameters derived from the input message or function in a script.

I wrote a C++ program to test a embedded serial application and it was +/- 1000 lines of code. I was able to replace this with about 20 lines of vb script in Docklight Scripting.

Docklight is definitely worth the money.

I would tend to implement a short python script to do this (it can be compiled to a standalone executable with py2exe if that's what you need). Install python and pyserial. Then use a script like this:

However, if you want a more conventional Windows application, then you can probably do it with Docklight, possibly combined with Docklight Scripting (available from the same site).

The serial terminal emulation application Tera Term, has a scripting language which will be capable of setting up timed loops.

I use RealTerm. You can write scripts for it and have it send that file repeatedly. You can add delays between characters or delays between lines. It's a little buggy sometimes, but it's great for the price (free).

Although answered already, i use http://www.hw-group.com/products/hercules/index_de.html . Their app is free and in the serial tab, i can send and receive data from rs232. works like a charm.

ScriptCommunicator (open-source, cross-platform) is the right tool for you. It has many features and a very useful script interface.

You can use the built in windows task scheduler to run a simple batch script that writes texts to a the com port some think like

But I've not done this is in yers so my syntax is rusty. Otherwise you could use a simple 'termulator' program that supports scripting - again I've not done this in a decade I think.

I'd write a C# program to do this. They have libraries to open the COM ports and timers to time when to send data.
