How the indicator led tell you is ok or not

Please use the following link, it has all the information on the operation, single page easy reference and description of the lamps and how the display of lit, not lit, and color of the LED is interpreted.http://serialstuff.amazonwebstore.com/CableMax-RS232-LED-link-Tester-DB9/M/B004OT995U.htm

Are there simply LEDs connected to the lines, or does it have one shot circuitry to make the LEDs stay on for a bit even with a short pulse?

There is no one-shot dwell circuit, but the LEDs are two-color so you can see signal levels even when they're asserted false/space.

Will this device show if the PC serial port is working properly, or does it have to be plugged in between the pc and a device, such as a printer?

it needs to be plugged in between the pc and a device. it will indicate comunication between the two on each of the pins of the rs-232.

Is it possible to test db25 connections with this device? Maybe with an adapter,?

Yes, you will need a DB25 Male to DB9 female adapter. If you want to test online then you would also need a DB9 Male to a DB25 female adapter.

Absolute must have for communication debugging.

Works great for debugging PLC communication issues. I was chasing a ghost issue on an integrated PLC for a stationary battery backup system and this device showed exactly why the issue was happening. My com link cable had a broken wire at one end and this device instantly showed the result of it and finally put the ghost to rest after a quick cable swap.
