How to use the Software
STK200 Starter Kit 6-7
6.27 Font Selection
This allows you to set a different font for the Buffer Windows. You may wish to do this if
the default font is too small or unclear. The default font is Terminal, size 10, which is set
for 14-inch monitors. The default font is probably too small for larger monitors.
As a rule of thumb, Terminal font is usually best for displaying the full ASCII character
set, as it has all the characters below 20. You will find other fonts will “fill” these charac-
ters with a circumflexed Y or another similar character.
6.28 Advanced
Options
This allows you to override “Signature Byte Checking”.
This is useful if you use a lot of pre-production devices which may not have signature
information included or you are using an unsupported device which has the same pro-
gramming algorithm. Use with care.
6.29 Edit as ASCII
This option allows you to change the editing mode from Hex to ASCII and back. This is
useful if a mouse or pointing device is not available.
6.30 Device
Checksum
Reads device and calculates the check sum. It does not load the buffer with the device
contents.
