8.4.3 Terminal

The

Terminal

tab (see FIGURE

8-4

) supports manually-entered commands

(see Appendix

Extended ASCII Command Set

(p. D-1)

, for individual

commands). It also includes buttons on the right side of the screen that provide

the following functions.

FIGURE 8-4. Terminal Tab in DevConfig

Read Audit Log:

Displays a history of the transmitter operation. The latest

entry in the audit log is shown at the top of the screen. The audit log will record

any error condition that has occurred in the past, plus other events.

Clear Timed Buffer:

Erases all data from the self-timed buffer.

Clear Random Buffer:

Erases all data from the random buffer.

Send to Timed Buffer:

Send data to the self-timed buffer. Data will be

scheduled for transmission on the next available time slot.

Send to Random Buffer:

Send data to the random buffer. Data will be

scheduled for transmission soon.

Read Status:

Provides critical information regarding the most recent

transmission.
