VI. The Terminal

The Terminal that is integrated in the JControl/IDE provides communication with devices via a console. Thus, e.g. RS232 messages can be sent and received. The terminal includes a split-screen feature to divide the screen into an input and an output section. This may help the user to differentiate between incoming and outgoing messages. Additionally, there's an option to choose between text and hex view. Since release 3.2.0 the terminal even provides VT100, several codepages and different types of line breaks (CR, CR/LF, LF). Moreover, connections can be established by any communication port, beside RS232. Depending on the IDE distribution this may even be a telnet connection via ethernet.
