Software
Viewport: File Menu
Save Current Buffer
The
Save Current Buffer
command saves incoming data to an ASCII text file (the
Viewport buffer holds roughly 10K of data). Browse to the desired directory, enter a
name for the file (it will have a .cap extension) and click
Save
.
Log Incoming Data to File
The
Log Incoming Data to File
command writes incoming data to an ASCII .log
file. To begin logging, click
Start
, browse to the desired directory, enter a name for
the file and click
Save
. As data comes into the Viewport console it will be written to
the file, together with a Time Stamp that gives the date and time (to the nearest
second) that the data was received.
To halt the logging operation, click
Stop
or
Pause
.
Exit
The
Exit
command closes Viewport.
Viewport: Edit Menu
Copy
The Copy command copies the selected text to the Clipboard.
Paste
The Paste command writes the contents of the Clipboard to the Viewport screen and
transmits the pasted characters using the selected connection (as if they were typed
in).
Clear Data
The Clear Data command clears the Viewport buffer and all displayed text.
Viewport: Setup Menu
Use the
Setup
menu to set preferences for the display of characters in the Viewport
Incoming and Outgoing Data panes, and to specify communications and port
settings.
Auto Baud Search
Viewport attempts to establish communication at the baud rate specified in
Setup |
Communication Settings
. However, if the control system is not detected and
Auto
Baud Search
is enabled, Viewport will cycle through all possible baud rates
(beginning at 115200 and working back to 300) until it finds the control system. If
communication still cannot be established, an error message will be displayed.
