4. Functionality

The Rayon-Monitor functions as a serial communication interface and diagnostic tool. It connects to a serial port on a host computer and establishes a communication channel with external devices such as microcontrollers, PLCs, sensors, or industrial equipment.

Operational Workflow:
1. Connection Setup: The user selects the appropriate COM port and configures communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.).
2. Data Exchange: Once connected, the program transmits and receives data in real time, displaying it in the terminal window.
3. Logging and Analysis: Data can be logged to a file for later analysis, with timestamps and optional filtering.
4. Protocol Emulation: The built-in MODBUS and poll_and_ack frameworks allow simulation of master/slave communication cycles.
5. Custom Application Development: Developers can modify the source code to implement custom commands, data parsing routines, or communication protocols.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Industrial automation and control system debugging
- MODBUS RTU device testing and simulation
- Embedded system serial communication analysis
- Firmware development and validation
