The SocketTester is used to test socket connections from the CLIENT-view. Because of this, the SocketTester can send and receive commands in textual and binary code if a successful connection to a server is established. All incoming data can also be viewed in both modes. For example, if you select an area in the text view and then change into Hex-mode, you can see what the exact equivalent in the hexadecimal code is. This function is useful for developers when searching for errors that can occur in data transmission.

The SocketTester gives you the possibility to save socket connection data in the so called connection templates. Commands that are used and needed very often can also be saved as command templates. To end a command properly you have the possibility to define an end-character. This end-character can then be activated by pressing Enter.

All incoming data is saved in a logfile with the name "lastlog.txt" as long as the socket connection is active. If you need this file you should save it in a new directory before opening a new connection or else it will be overwritten by the data of the new connection.
