Scream! 4.5

The

+

and

+

arrow keys let you browse through

the history of typed commands. This history is common to all
Terminal windows, so you can easily (for example) send the same
command to several digitisers in turn.

To begin capturing a session in terminal mode, including every

command you type as well as the instrument's response, right-click in
the Terminal window and select Capture to File…. All subsequent
actions will be saved to the file you select. Capturing stays in effect

through digitiser restarts and, also, if you close Scream! and restart it
later. The capture file's name is displayed in the caption of the
Terminal window.

To send a file to a digitiser, right-click in the Terminal window and
select Send File…. This can be used to read in lists of commands that
you have prepared; for example, to set up a number of digitisers

identically. It is also used to update a digitiser's firmware. For details
on how to set up firmware transfers, refer to the documentation for the

relevant digitiser.

To close the connection, close the Terminal window. Scream! will
automatically instruct the digitiser to start transmitting data. If the

digitiser begins transmitting data whilst the Terminal window is still
open (e.g. because you have issued the close or go command, or

because of a time-out), the window will close automatically with the
message Terminal session closed by instrument.
