Transmit Characters

Characters you want to transmit over the serial or TCP connection. Transmission starts when you click the button next to the row of characters.

Non-printable characters can be represented using hex values in the format #xx, where xx is a valid hexadecimal value. For example, #0D matches a carriage return, #0A matches a line feed and ## represents a hash character.

The input wiring nodes on the device block map to the buttons on each transmit row, so the buttons can be triggered by another device.

Transmit Buffer: CLR

Clears the buffer (and display) of characters transmitted to the device.

Receive Characters

Characters you want to find in the stream of characters received via the serial or TCP connection. When a match is found, the LED for the row is lit (green).

Note: Each row is matched against characters at the end of the incoming data buffer. Therefore, the characters in the row must be found at the end of the buffer in order to light the corresponding LED.

The output wiring nodes on the device block map to each LED, so when an LED is lit, a device connected to the corresponding wiring node is triggered. This allows you, for example, to wire an output wiring node to one of the input wiring nodes, so that when a particular string is received, a transmit is actioned to send a string back to the device.

Receive Buffer: CLR

Clears the buffer (and display) of characters received from the device.
