Using Hyperterminal With Rs232

1. What Is Hyperterminal

Hi All I have developed Utility which worked like Windows hyper terminal utility. HyperTerminal is a program that you can use to connect to other computers, devices and host computers.

HyperTerminal has capabilities beyond making connections to other computers and devices. It can, for example, transfer large files from a computer onto your portable computer using a serial port rather than requiring you to set up your portable computer on a network.

It can help debug source code from a remote terminal. It can also communicate with many older, character-based computers. HyperTerminal records the messages passed to and from the computer on the other end of your connection.

What Is Hyperterminal

It can therefore serve as a valuable troubleshooting tool when setting up and using your serial port. To make sure that your device is connected properly or to view your device settings, you can send commands through HyperTerminal and check the results. HyperTerminal also has scroll functionality that enables you to view received text that has scrolled off the screen.

How to use Hyperterminal to test serial cards. This document describes how to use the Microsoft HyperTerminal application in order to prove that your Brainboxes serial card is functioning correctly. This assumes that the card is correctly installed. In this example the card installed is a CC-257 RS232 2-port PCI card on “COM1” but. Testing a DB-9 RS-232 serial port in HyperTerminal This procedure explains how to troubleshoot a COM card using Hyperterminal. Before testing your serial ports, you must first hook up a loopback. A loopback connects the output signal (TxD) to the input signal (RxD) in a single serial port connector to make it seem like.

Connect / Disconnect: Clicking on this button, selected com port will connect or disconnect. Send File: Clicking on this button, file section window will open. User can select the file which supposed to send. Log file: Clicking on this button, User can log the data to the selected file. Clear Screen: Clicking on this button, the display screen will be cleared. Autowrap: This will wrap the text.

Local Echo: This will generate an echo. CR= CR/LF: Send End character. Auto scroll: Will scroll display automatically. Display Style: Select the display style, like Normal, Hex code display. Exit: Clicking on this button, application will exit.

Hi A real LabVIEW implementation of Hyperterminal is a long missing feature, so that is very good.

I would like it to be this program available in two forms in which one is as basic as possible to function also as an example. But then it needs more comments in the coding and all terminal labels visible. First an irritating question: Why did you recolor all basic elements in the blockdiagram, it makes it less readable. One of the differences between LabVIEW(VISA) and Hyperterminal is the speed in which characters are sent out. Hyperterminal is definetely slower and for some devices a char by char output is necessary. This could be added. But I'm glad you had the guts to complete this and publish it here.
