SENA Serial_IPTM Redirector 4.3 - Manual (Page 33)

Events Displayed in the Trace Window
The Trace window displays a series of events, one event per line. Every event is tagged with the current time
(shown in hour:minute:second.millisecond format), and the Serial/IP COM port where the event occurred. There
are three types of events:
1. Transmit events.
Shown in green and preceded by "»", these indicate that the application software transmitted data to the
COM port. The remainder of the line shows the data transmitted, either in ASCII or hexadecimal format,
depending upon the current display mode.
2. Receive events.
Shown in red and preceded by "«", these indicate that the application software received data from the
COM port. The remainder of the line shows the data received, either in ASCII or hexadecimal format,
depending upon the current display mode.
3. Control events.
Shown in blue and preceded by "|", these indicate non-data events. These events can include the setting
of session parameters (such as Telnet); opening and closing a port; connecting to the serial server;
setting a device control or status line (DTR, DSR, DCD, etc); and the configuration of baud rate and
framing parameters.
Note: The Trace window is updated only once per second to avoid introducing large changes in system
timing; as a result, there may be brief delays in the display. It is OK to leave tracing enabled for long
periods, though this will impose a minor performance penalty and will use up to 1 megabyte of extra
memory.
