5.3 Additional buttons of the PC Mux

In addition to the functions already described the PC Mux has a display and a trace possibility.

With

Enable Display/Disable Display

the running Mux protocol can be displayed in the status win-

dow. When activating the display before starting the Mux, error messages e.g. for wrong configuration
of the

simulation.ini

are displayed. Choose

Enable/Disable Trace

to output results into the file

trace.txt.

Note

:

The file may become quite big.

5.4 Examples

Figure 10 shows how to start a multiplexer session. First start the multiplexer simulation by double
clicking on the simulation.exe (1). Then start the terminal programs one after another (2-4). Make sure
that the terminal programs are connected to the correct logical COM Ports. Now enter AT+IPR to set
the baud rate.

Afterwards start the multiplexer with AT+CMUX=0 as shown in Figure 11.
