You can modify the terminal settings with the selections in the Settings frame of the Terminal panel. The settings define the way sensor messages and commands are displayed in the Terminal panel.
- Select Visible symbols for binary to show the non-printable characters (binary values) as symbols.
- Select VT100, if you wish the application to emulate a VT100 terminal.
- Select Local echo to display the commands you type in the Terminal panel on the screen. In this case, the commands may be shown on the screen twice: once by your workstation and once by the field device.
- Select CRLF Mode to make the system insert the carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) characters after each message line.
- Select Auto LF to make the system insert a new line on the screen after each message line that is received from the field device. This makes it easier to read the field device messages.
- Select Auto wrap to make the system start a new line on the screen after 80 characters. This way you can see all text on the screen without having to scroll.
