Local Echo
When Local Echo is enabled, any command issued to the COM port will also be
displayed in Viewport.
Display in Hex Mode
When Display in Hex Mode is enabled, all incoming and outgoing data is displayed
in hexadecimal notation. When Display in Hex Mode is not enabled, data is
displayed in ASCII format.
CR to CR/LF (Outgoing)
Many devices use the ASCII newline character (CR/LF) as a command delimiter.
The CR to CR/LF option converts any carriage return (CR) character that is issued
to the COM port to a CR/LF.
Sound
When Sound is enabled, Viewport interprets any incoming character that represents
a sound (for example, the <Bel> character) as a Viewport-specific command, and the
corresponding sound will be emitted.
Destructive Backspace (Incoming)
When Destructive Backspace (Incoming) is enabled, any incoming backspace
character is interpreted as a Viewport-specific backspace command, thus removing
the previous character from the Incoming Data buffer.
Show Program Load Output in Incoming Data Window
Program load output is data that is generated at the completion of a Send Program
command. In 2 Series control systems, enabling the Show Program Load Output
option is identical to clicking Program Reset after a program is transferred to the
control system.
In X Series control systems, this option will display the same information as with a
Hard Reset, in addition to any errors generated during program transfer. (These
errors will not be displayed using the Hard Reset command.)
Character Mapping
Character mapping is used to control how incoming and outgoing data is displayed
(when the Display in Hex Mode option is not enabled). The Character Mapping
dialog box is divided into three areas, according to the range of ASCII character
values (see ASCII Conversions):
Low Characters controls the display of characters with ASCII values below 20 hex.
These characters represent commands, such as <Esc> or <Line Feed>.
The Normal option will display the ASCII equivalent of the character.
The Translated option will display the character represented by control and function
keys. For example, <Ctrl+@>, which corresponds to the NULL character, would be
displayed as <NUL>.)
The Hex option displays the character in hexadecimal notation.
