M-Station Baseboard
The main portion of the window is the display area for characters received from the micro-board. A
received CR character (carriage return, 0x0D) results in a new starting line; received LF characters
(line feed, 0x0A) are ignored. Characters typed on the keyboard are sent to the micro-board through
the M-Station USB interface, but are not displayed unless echoed by the micro-board, or unless you
select Local Echo in the Properties box.
As the micro-board receives new characters and lines through the M-Station, they are added to the
bottom of the previously received lines. When the terminal window is filled, lines are added at the
bottom and previous lines are scrolled off the top. Lines scrolled off the top may be viewed again using
the scroll arrows to the right of the window. The window holds up to approximately 32,000 characters
in a buffer that may be scrolled to show recent interactions. After the buffer has reached its maximum,
the oldest lines are dropped. If you wish to keep a long record of interactions, click Transfer →
Capture Text File to save the interactions to a text file.
10.2.1 MST Terminal Menu
The MST Terminal menu bar contains the File, Edit, Transfer, and Help menus. Clicking a main
menu name displays its associated commands. You can also view a menu by pressing the ALT key
and typing the first letter of the menu name you want to view. For example, pressing ALT+F displays
the File menu. Clicking a command name opens a dialog box. For example, pressing ALT+F displays
the File menu; pressing P opens the Properties box.
When there are multiple commands with the same first letter (for example, Save and Save As... on the
File menu), typing the first letter highlights the first such item but does not activate it. Repeatedly
entering the first letter cycles through command names that begin with that letter. Select the command
you want and press ENTER to activate it. Many commands can be directly activated through shortcut
keys.

All other typed keys, including control characters, are sent to the M-Station. If you want to send a
shortcut character to the M-Station, click Transfer → Send binary key.
