The USART Asynchronous Operations window can be opened by selecting:

• Communications > Basic Operations

from the menu bar

The USART Synchronous Master Basic Operations window is shown in Figure 7-3.

There are two basic communications commands, Read and Write.

Data can be transmitted to the target device as 7-bit ASCII or 8-bit byte. 7-bit ASCII

data is entered in the left hand window. 8-bit byte is entered in the right hand column.

Both transmitted and received data is displayed in the transaction window.

The command will be logged in the Transactions window. A listing of the command

abbreviations is given in Table 7-2.

USART Asynchronous commands can be combined into scripts, saved, and used over

again. The Script Builder window is opened by selecting Communications > Script >

Script Builder from the menu bar. The Script Builder is shown in Figure 7-4.

toggle it to a “d” indicating that the value is a decimal number.
