Comfort Bus Monitor 2 - slychiu - 11-10-2026
Comfort Bus Monitor 2 will replace the exiting Comfort Bus Monitor that is launched by Comfigurator > Tools menu. This shows the Comfort messages on the RS485 Bus
Bus Monitor 2 improves on the old software;
- It decodes all RS485 messages as well as the parameters
- Saved messages have trmestamp up to miliseconds for each line.
- The software can be upgraded automatically or manually when a new version is available
- Fixes bugs on the old software
The next Comfigurator (after 4.0.6) will launch Bus monitor 2, but for now the software can run stand alone. Download from https://www.cytech.biz/comfort_bus_monitor_2.html
