Nope can't do it. Data coming from the BaseStation program is a binary framed protocol. So using a serial program like Putty which expects displayable bytes won't work.
You can write a simple program that dumps out the hex data. If you had gone through the tutorials (which is what is encouraged and what most people do when starting out with TinyOS) you would have discovered Tutorial 1.4 (TinyOS_Tutorials<http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/TinyOS_Tutorials>) (1.4 Mote-PC_serial_communication<http://docs.tinyos.net/tinywiki/index.php/Mote-PC_serial_communication_and_SerialForwarder> ) and TEP 113 (Serial Communications<http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/tep113.html>) which talks explicitly about Active Messaging and the frame format that is used. This is the binary protocol used by default on the Radio and Serial stacks. Unless one is using BLIP (6lowpan) but that is a whole 'nutter can of worms. If you don't understand what I'm talking about there then please go find an introductory networking class and learn the basic concepts. I don't know what you googled but when I googled "tinyos serial format" the 1st hit pointed me at TEP 113. Please go back and do your homework. I don't mind answering questions and helping out but you should have been able to figure this one out. Yes I agree that the state of the documentation and learning TinyOS could be improved significantly.
