10.2.2 MSTTERM Status Bar
The status bar at the bottom of the MST Terminal window shows the status of the MSTTERM program,
displaying "Capturing" when the capture to a text file is active or "Capture paused" when the capture is
active but paused. The status bar also shows the baud rate currently selected, a count of transmitted
lines, and a count of received lines.
10.3 File Menu
The File menu contains the Open, Save, Save As..., Properties and Exit commands.
•
Clicking File → Open... (or pressing CTRL+O) loads a previously saved .MST configuration
file containing MSTTERM properties. The dialog box enables you to browse through and
select from a list of available .MST files. Selecting a file and clicking Open loads that file
and sets the baud rate, local echo, line feeds with line ends, and filtering of characters to 7-
bit ASCII format according to what is specified in that file.
•
Clicking File → Save (CTRL+S) saves the current properties to an .MST configuration file.
If an .MST file has not been selected by previous File → Open or File → Save As
command sequences, then you are prompted to select a filename from the list of current
.MST files.
Entering a new file name creates a new file with that name and the .MST extension, and
saves the current properties in that file. Selecting a current .MST file overwrites the
properties in that file with the current properties.
If you have already selected an .MST configuration file by clicking File → Open or File →
Save As..., then clicking File → Save saves the current properties to that file without
prompting for a file name.
•
Clicking File → Save As... prompts for a new filename in which to save the current
properties. Entering a new file name will create that file with the .MST extension. Selecting
a currently existing .MST file overwrites that file.
•
Clicking File → Properties open the Properties box. See subsection 10.4 for more
information.
•
Clicking File → Exit closes the MSTTERM program, turns power off and then on to the M-
Station, and then releases the RESET to reset and rerun the user program. Pressing
ALT+F4 at any point also exits the MSTTERM program.
