User Interface


The user interface of SimpleTerm is divided into six (SE) or eight (GE) main sections.

 

Features and Usage

SimpleTerm displays all incoming serial port data and all outgoing serial port
data sent via the keyboard or sent using the “String Entry Pane”.

Display Modes, Data Formatting and Colour Code

The serial port data is displayed in the communication window in various colour
coded display mode options. The data viewing modes include “ASCII/Text”,
“Mixed (ASCII, hexadecimal)” and “Hexadecimal” modes.

Mixed (ASCII, hexadecimal)


Hexadecimal Mode



Com Port Initialisation and Connection

All common line settings are configurable via the “Quick Configuration Panel”.

Data transmission from file / Capture to file

Send file …

Send all data within a file through the serial port. Progress bar shown for transfer progress plus
status bar for additional information - including the file size and percentage of transfer completed.

Special Send File…
This function is a more flexible version of the “Send file …” option above - Option of
sending multiple times and with an accurate inter-character delay.


 
Capture to File…
SimpleTerm can capture/save outgoing & incoming serial data into a file.

Control Signal Panel
This panel contains “Virtual LEDs” to display the state of  the RS232
control lines when connected/online.

String Entry Pane

This is used to quickly type in a sequence of data for transmitting via the COM port.




Data Exporting and Printing

Copy to Clipboard
Copy colour coded serial data to the clipboard, then paste into other
applications in RTF (Rich Text Format).

Saving Screen Contents (only available in SimpleTerm GE)
Save the contents of the communication window as a RTF file.
 
Colour Printing
The on-screen data can be printed off in colour.

Find

You may search for specific words or characters displayed in the
communication window.

Settings Window

This window is split into three tab separated sections for configuring the
applications behaviour and display options.



Import and Export SimpleTerm Profiles

For rapid configuration when working with different devices or applications
which require different configuration settings, SimpleTerm supports the
saving of all configuration information in named text files known as Profiles.

Status Bar and Byte Selection Information

The status bar provides additional user feedback and information about the
communication status, errors, input / output byte count and screen selection.



Notation Converter

An easy to use 32-bit notation converter is provided for rapid conversion
between binary, decimal and hexadecimal.

ASCII table

An ASCII Table is provided for reference. ASCII characters 00-7F hexadecimal are
displayed in various notations.



User Notes

A feature rich single page notepad is provided for storing handy notes or data
(during a debugging session for example).


Macro List (Gold Version Only)

To aid in efficient and productive testing/debugging, a Macro List Pane is included.
“Macros” are a convenient way to store commonly used data or actions.

Visual Scripting (Gold Version Only)

There is also a “Visual Scripting” feature to run/execute macros in sequence or repeatedly in
a loop. This can be of great help for debugging or testing the robustness of RS232 based
embedded systems without resorting to any programming. It is equally powerful for testing a
variety of equipment by executing a sequence of macros/tasks written to exercise that equipment.
