6.2.2.2 Comm Monitor Dialog Box
The Configuration Editor’s Comm Monitor dialog box, shown selected in the following figure, and its associated sub-
dialog boxes provide configuration functions for the Communications Interface program’s (MCOMM.EXE) monitor. Within
the monitor, CIM link and audio system link port receive and transmit data messages are displayed in a hexadecimal format.
These data messages may also be logged to the hard disk drive for diagnostic/troubleshooting purposes; this data logging
should not be confused with API message logging. As required, save any changes made by clicking the <Save> command
button. Refer to section 6.4 in this manual (page 66) monitor operation information.
Figure 6-6 — Configuration Editor’s Comm Monitor Dialog Box
Using this dialog box, monitor settings including its window size at start-up, display options at start-up, font utilized, and
TX and RX font colors may be configured. Here, TX = transmit = a PC⇒CIM/audio system message and RX = receive = a
CIM/audio system⇒PC message.
6.2.2.2.1 Window Size At Start-Up
The Window Size option buttons provide selection for the monitor’s window size at monitor start-up (if visible—see
section 6.2.2.2.3 for details). After the monitor is started its window size may be changed using the monitor’s own Option
dialog box; it is not resizable using standard window click-and-drag resizing methods. Within the monitor, the Option dialog
box is opened by clicking the <Opt> button in the monitor’s button bar. Window sizes are:
•
Small = 8 data message rows
•
Medium = 16 data message rows
•
Large = 32 data message rows
