[Data Display Area]
The [Data Display Area] displays the data from serial port, modem, or data file. When
displaying data, this area follows certain rules and executes functions according to them.
Data Display Functions
If the data to be displayed exceeds the size of the [Data Display Area], a vertical scroll bar
appears to enable scrolling in the [Data Display Area]. A horizontal scroll bar is always
displayed even though the width of the displayed data does not exceed the size of the [Data
Display Area].
• When data are coming from the serial port or modem, the [Data Display Area] is
automatically scrolled to the last line if the data to be displayed exceeds the size of the
[Data Display Area].
• If the data are from the data file, the [Data Display Area] is not scrolled to the last line,
but displays the data from the first line.
• If a data file is opened while data are coming from the serial port or modem and being
displayed in the [Data Display Area], previously displayed data are erased and new data
from the data file are displayed in the [Data Display Area]. If more data are still coming
from the serial port or modem, the data are appended after the last line of the file data and
the file name remains the same. This is to prevent loss of real time data from the serial
port or modem.
• If you execute an SBX command after opening a data file, the file is closed and a new file
(or document) is started with the name "Untitled".
• Once a file name is assigned for the data in the [Data Display Area] by using the [Save]
sub-menu or the [Save As] sub-menu, the file name remains the same even though more
data are coming from the serial port or modem and being displayed. Therefore, the
appended data can be stored in the same file.
• If the [Clear New] sub-menu is selected or the [Clear New] tool button is clicked, the
[Data Display Area] is cleared and a new document (or file) named "Untitled" is started.
