auxiliary interface
. In this mode, the CLX outputs the data traffic of its host
interface via the auxiliary interface. Protocol driver handshakes and protocol-specific data,
such as start and stop characters, are suppressed here. Each data string is displayed on a
separate line on the screen. Two monitoring modes are available that differ with regard to
the data output format (
