Click OK to begin entering serial commands in the HyperTerminal window.
3.1.2.3 To echo commands
The commands you type will not appear in the HyperTerminal window, unless you setup the
HyperTerminal to do so. Only the response from the MAESTRO will be displayed. If you prefer to see
the commands you are typing, on the HyperTerminal window click the File menu and execute the
following sequence:
File → Properties → Settings (tab) → ASCII setup → select “Echo typed characters locally” → OK
3.1.2.4 Test the connection
In the HyperTerminal window, type *VER. If the response you receive tells you the version of your
MAESTRO, you are successfully connected and ready for serial command action.
3.1.2.5 HyperTerminal settings shortcut
When you end the session, HyperTerminal asks if you want to save your settings. To avoid inputting the
communication parameters again in the future, save by clicking Yes. The next time you execute the
string of commands, the name of your session will appear after HyperTerminal. Clicking on the session
name will open the connection using the saved settings. To avoid re-entering the string of commands,
put a shortcut to this file on your desktop:
Search for the file name. Select the file. Right click and select Shortcut in the drop down menu.
