10.1.4 Terminal Tab

The

Terminal tab will be available when the application is connected to any

device type that can be communicated with in a remote terminal mode. The

Terminal tab offers a terminal emulator that can be useful in accessing settings

or status information that are not exposed in other windows. For example,

classic dataloggers with PakBus operating systems that are configured as

routers contain routing tables that list the other PakBus nodes that are known to

that datalogger. This routing table is only available through the *D17 mode

(see *D descriptions in the datalogger’s operators’ manuals) using the

keyboard/display or a terminal emulator. Another example is that the status

table in mixed-array dataloggers (*B) can also be accessed via an “S”

command in terminal mode. This status information can provide important

data for troubleshooting purposes.

The default for the Terminal tab is to only show characters that are returned

from the device. However, if the

Echo Input check box is enabled, the screen

will also display the characters actually typed by the user.

The

All Caps check box controls whether the keyboard input will be forced to

upper case before the characters are sent to the device. It will be disabled for

some device types that require upper case input.

10.1.5 The Unknown Device Type

When the Unknown device type is selected, a panel will be shown in the tab

control similar to that shown below:
