Toggles the display of time stamps in asynchronous notification displays in one-second
increments (default = enabled). When enabled, the Display Milliseconds option causes
asynchronous notification time stamps to be displayed in milliseconds (default = disabled).
These options convert unprintable characters (i.e. Control Codes) into either Hexadecimal or
Decimal values within the message (default = Hex Values).
• Hex values will display with a leading $ character. For example the message: STRING from
CHANNEL 6 - $0F$1D has two control codes converted to hexadecimal.
• Decimal values will display with a leading # character: STRING from CHANNEL 6 - #15#29.
Specify the total size of the two files that are used by the program to buffer the asynchronous
notification and system diagnostic messages. The number specified here will be divided evenly
between the two files.
• The range is 2 - 500 MB (default = 10).
• If you have less than 500 MB free on your disk, then the upper range value will be adjusted
according to the amount of free space on your disk.
• Your TEMP or TMP environment variables are used to determined the drive used for the two
buffer files.
This read-only field indicates the current amount of free disc space available on your local hard
disc (c:). Use this number as reference if you are increasing the buffer file size.
Use this field to adjust the number of lines that will be read from the buffer every quarter-second
(default = 4)
