Serial Solutions Terminal Emulators
the serial port. At each menu the user must hit one of the
digit keys to make a selection. The menus include setting
the port, the Baud rate, the number of data bits, the
number of stop bits and the parity.
F10 Quit. This immediately exits the program.
ALT-C
(That is ’C’ and the ’ALT’ key pressed together). CTERM
prompts the user for a command. The user can enter a
command together with any parameters that it requires.
These are the same commands found in the definition files,
and control the way that the terminal functions.
Commands.___________
The commands which can be included in a definition file
or typed at the keyboard consist of a single letter (whose case is
ignored) followed by an optional list of parameters. Only one
command is allowed per line, and generally spaces can be
inserted freely between parameters. In the following table
characters enclosed in angled braces <thus> indicate a symbol
which should be replaced with a string defined later. Optional
parameters are enclosed in square braces [to indicate that they
don’t necessarily have the included]. Alternatives are enclosed in
curly braces and separated by vertical bars as {one|or another|but
not both}.
H Displays help information. Has same effect as hitting F1 in
CTERM.
Q Exits program. Same Effect hitting F10 in CTERM.
E <echo>[<echo>] where <echo>={n|l|s}
Echo. The letters specify either no echo (n), echo to screen
(s) and/or echo to line (l). Echo to screen means that
characters typed at the keyboard are displayed on the
screen as well as sent to the serial port. Echo to line
means that characters received from the serial port are sent
out to it. Do not set this latter option if connected to a
device which also does this, as the two devices will
