What is the different between Serial Tap Pro and Serial Tap.

Hello Sunny,

Serial Tap Pro is a next-generation serial sniffer; the functional differences that distinguish it from the original Serial Tap (https://ioninja.com/hardware/serial-tap.html) are as follows.

Serial Tap Pro features:

Galvanic isolation (for robustness and protection of all electrical circuits involved)
Twice as high baud rates (2.5 Mbps in Serial Tap Pro vs 1 Mbps in Serial Tap)
Automatic detection of baud rates and UART frame size (aka, ABR)
Guaranteed correct sequencing of all events with hardware-generated microsecond timestamps (in contrast, Serial Tap uses two independent USB-to-UART channels, timestamped at the PC side)
9-bit data frame support (used by some industrial equipment)
Half-duplex (two-wire) RS485 packet direction detection
Data and status line injection (so Serial Tap Pro can effectively be used in lieu of any USB-to-RS232/485/TTL adapter)
