Installation of Tibbo Device Monitor on Windows

Preface

Tibbo Device Monitor service provides device monitoring capabilities for IO Ninja. It’s the engine behind the Serial Monitor plugin, Named Pipe Monitor plugin (and possibly others in the future). As such, is required for proper operation of these plugins.

Installation

1. Download the latest Tibbo Device Monitor package for your CPU from:

   http://ioninja.com/downloads.html

   For example, if you are running Windows x64, use tdevmon-3.x.x-windows-amd64.msi.

2. Run the downloaded package accepting the default locations and confirming an administrative elevation prompt (if you have Windows UAC turned on).

3. After the installer has completed, check the status of service. Run Window Command Prompt (Win + R, cmd, Enter) and type:

   cd "C:\Program Files\Tibbo\DeviceMon 3\bin"
   tdevmon.exe --stats
   

   If everything is OK, you will see:

   tdevmonc.sys stats:
   
   Total devices:    0
   Connections:      0
   Pending requests: 0
   
   tdevmonp.sys stats are not available: The system cannot find the file specified.
   

   Note

   Don’t let the last line worry you – tdevmonp.sys is normally unloaded and is not required in most cases (it’s a PnP filter used for early-attach to PnP devices unaccessible otherwise).

Congratulations! Tibbo Device Monitor is installed and ready to use (e.g., via Serial Monitor).
