Main Menu Main Menu located line screen. allows access features SimpTerm. accessed pressing ALT+"highlight char". Then right/left arrow keys used move next/previous menu while down/up keys used move next/previous menu items. Some menu items have sequence right option. This that used time access that menu function. Terminal Screen This area where characters that transmitted received displayed. color monitors transmit characters displayed yellow receive characters cyan. black white monitors transmit characters displayed white receive characters gray. Overrun Error, Parity Error, Framing Error, Break Interrupt detected, character will blinking (see Handshake Line section). When port split mode (see Display Split), horizontal line will splitting terminal screen which transmit characters (DTE side) will displayed upper half, receive characters (DCE side) will displayed lower half. line ring buffer maintained each ports opened. Setup Window This window located right side Terminal Screen when Settings option selected (see Display Settings). This used constant reminder ports settings.

Handshake Line Handshake Line located bottom each opened ports split into four sections. first "DTE:" section. This section displays state handshakes Data Terminal Ready, Request Send, BRK-Break. second section "DCE:" section. This section displays state Data Ready, Clear Send, Data Carrier Detect, Ring Indicator. third section state error flags. This displays state Break, Overrun Error, Parity Error, Framing Error. more these errors occur receive character, state will until next receive transmit character displayed. fourth section current size Transmit "TXB:" Receive "RXB:" buffers. these flags, when state found "high", representation characters will displayed with gray background with black foreground, otherwise they will displayed with black background gray foreground.

USER'S GUIDE
Port Menu 3.11 Port Open Allows user open single serial communications port. "Address, IRQ, Transmit Buffer Size, Receive Buffer Size," required install port. address location port, interrupt request line that port will operating under. Some more common addresses: 03F8h, 02F8h, 03E8h, 02E8h usual address COM1-COM4 respectively, although address through 3FFh specified. IRQ's (2-15) also supported. transmit receive buffers used temporary holding areas characters that waiting transmitted characters that received before they placed screen. larger receive buffer less chance there lose characters. minimum size each transmit receive buffers characters. maximum size less than following: (100 (2*Receive Buffer) (Transmit Buffer)) 65535 example, determine maximum receive buffer single port, would following formula: (65435 Transmit Buffer Size)/2 Receive Buffer Size When port opened, transmits NULL determine correctly. 3.12 Port Close Allows user close existing port. ports that left open automatically resized fill screen. 3.13 Port Setup This dialog allows communication parameters port.

3.14 Port Change This allows change port's address, IRQ, receive buffer size, transmit buffer size without losing port's triggers, handshake settings, etc. 3.15 Port Copy Settings Copies baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits, triggers, display settings from port another. 3.16 Port Summary Shows summary active port. address, IRQ, transmit buffer size, receive buffer size, type UART, FIFO trigger level UART 16550AFN. type UARTs that supported are: 8250 8250B, 8250A 16450, 16550, 16550AFN. 3.17 Port Exit Exits SimpTerm. configuration file open changes have been made since been open, will prompted save changes before exiting. configuration open will just exit. Control Menu 3.21 Control Toggles state Request Send. 3.22 Control Toggles state Data Terminal Ready. 3.23 Control Break Toggles state Break condition. This condition caused holding transmit data line high. 3.24 Control Last Toggles continuous transmit. character that repeated could either last character that typed (transmitted) string that defined transmitted.

3.25 Control FIFO UART 16550AFN then FIFO trigger level here. good idea change this only when receive buffer empty, otherwise characters could lost. 3.26 Control Clear RX_Buffer there characters Receive Buffer they cleared. Also, this option used clear receive overflow flag which, when set, displayed handshake line "OF". 3.27 Control Clear TX_Buffer there characters Transmit buffer they cleared.
Options Menu 3.31 Options Test Mode Allows test serial port external device either looping back itself pins (transmit receive) connecting port another configuring device. ports being used test mode, then active port transmits characters while second port receives. 3.32 Options Trigger trigger defined string that looked while port receiving characters. this string detected, second defined string then transmitted port reply trigger. Trigger Dialog nine Triggers Reply strings. Each these combinations enabled/disabled separately check preceding them. There also check labeled Enable Port Triggers" that allows enable/disable separately enabled triggers. example, this check checked, defined triggers that enabled (have check preceding their trigger reply string) will disabled. There also check labeled Make Global" which makes that port's defined triggers other ports that have their corresponding Enable Port Triggers" checked.

3.42 Display Split This toggle switch that splits current port's screen. When screen split, transmit characters will displayed half screen receive characters will displayed bottom half. Otherwise full screen mode, where transmit receive characters will combined. 3.43 Display Settings Turns display port settings off. display port settings terminal screen will expand full width screen. 3.44 Display Character Allows select character display mode. There four options, Character, Hex, Decimal, Mix. character mode actual character will placed screen. Hex, hexadecimal representation character will displayed between "<>". decimal decimal representation character will displayed between "<<>>". mode characters between decimal decimal will displayed character rest will displayed between "<>" hexadecimal representation. check "Change Ports" located bottom dialog will change display character ports open. 3.45 Display Show/Hide This option allows temporarily hide port. This feature would used have more than port open require more display particular port. When port hidden, receive characters will stored will displayed when port brought back visible state. 3.46 Display 43/50 Lines Toggles between 43/50 line displays.
