7.3 WinCom Tools
There are seven selections under the Tools menu. The first, Obey CTS is useful when
just a three wire connection is made between the radio and the computer. Some PCs
let the CTS input line float. If CTS is not asserted, the PC COM port will not send
data.
Note: Unchecking this selection will have the PC COM port
ignore the state of CTS and transmit data.
When WinCOM’s transmit mode is used, data is sent continuously until the user stops
it by clicking on Stop or pressing F6. If the second tool, Single Transmit, is checked,
clicking the Transmit button will send the Transmit String a single time. There is no
need to click Stop. Clicking on the Transmit button a second time will have the string
transmitted a second time.
The third allows for checking of available Comm Ports and is useful for refreshing
the list.
