 NO—No port is active.
Terminal screen area (24 lines x 80 characters).
Command keys that can be used with the screen currently displayed.
On Line Mode
When you operate AUATC in On Line Mode, the main screen area
displays your interactions with the ASCII device, as if it were the screen of
an ASCII terminal. Simultaneously, the data stream being output by the
device is stored in an eight-page circular buffer, so you can not only
access and operate the device, but you can also review its historical data
as needed. Because the buffer is circular, it always retains the most recent
eight pages of data from the device; the newest data will overwrite the
oldest data.
