Project Overview
NovoTerm is a software tool for serial communication protocol analysis and debugging. It is mainly used for testing and debugging serial communication protocols like RS232. It allows you to monitor communication between two serial devices or to test the serial communication of a single device. Novoterm can respond to incoming sequences and send out user-defined sequences in accordance with the protocol in use. The user has to open the port to send or receive the data. The user can change the serial port configuration and also change the display settings. The COM communication ports provided by your Windows operating system will be supported by NovoTerm. There are two types of plans: the eval plan is the free plan, which allows you to export 2000 lines of CSV or TXT files and will enable you to add only one macro sequence, and the pro plan is the premium plan, which allows you to export multiple lines of CSV or TXT files and will enable you to add multiple macro sequences.

Features Implemented
NovoTerm includes a set of purpose-built features for serial communication protocol analysis, debugging, and data export.
1. Real-time Monitoring and Analysis
Real-time monitoring and analysis of serial communication data, with the ability to display data in various formats such as ASCII, Hex, Decimal, Octal, and Binary.
2. Serial Port Configuration
It allows you to configure the settings of a serial port on a computer or device. This typically includes options such as the port, baud rate, number of data bits, stop bits, parity, and the new line character for outgoing data.
3. Display Settings
It allows you to configure the settings of a serial port on a computer or device. A user typically chooses either plain text output or formatted text output when they want to change the font size or background color of their window.
4. Macro Settings
Macro settings were used to add a new sequence. Also, the user can edit or delete the macro sequence. Once the macro has been created or added, it can be executed by clicking on the "Run" button.
5. Export
Export the log data as a CSV or TXT file. Click on the CSV or TXT icon to export the data. Once you click on "export data," the system dialog will open, and you can save that file at your desired location.
6. Auto-scroll
Auto-scroll refers to the feature that automatically scrolls the data display window as new data is received. It can be enabled or disabled. This allows users to easily view the most recent data without having to manually scroll through the data display.
Technology Stack
BrokerAIQ is built on a modern stack combining AI, vector search, and proven web technologies to deliver real-time loan matching and collaboration at scale.
Backend
Node.js
Conclusion
NovoTerm is a specialized serial port terminal software built for protocol analysis and debugging of RS232 communication. The application enables engineers in Israel to monitor, test, and debug serial communication between devices with real-time data display, configurable port settings, macro automation, and flexible export options. Built with Electron JS and Node.js, the desktop application bridges native system controls with a modern React-based interface.
