M-Station Baseboard
10.4 Properties Box
The Properties box, opened when you click File → Properties, allows you to set various options for
the MSTTERM program: local echo, whether line feeds should be sent with line ends, the baud rate for
operation, and whether received characters should be filtered to 7-bit ASCII format.
10.4.1 Local Echo
Selecting the Local echo check box enables any character entered from the keyboard to be echoed to
the screen and sent to the micro-board. If the micro-board program also echoes characters, this will
result in the typed key showing up two times on the screen. When you clear the check box, typed
characters are sent to the micro-board through the USB interface, but are not echoed to the screen
(unless echoed by the micro-board program).
10.4.2 Send Line Ends with Line Feeds
Selecting the Send line ends with line feeds check box sends the CRLF (0x0D, 0x0A) combination
when you press the ENTER key. When you clear the check box, pressing ENTER sends only a CR
character.
10.4.3 Bits Per Second
•
The Bits per second box shows the currently selected baud rate. Clicking the Bits per
second arrow enables to you select a different rate for the UART on the M-Station USB
interface. All transmitted characters after this are sent at the new baud rate, and any
received characters are received at the new baud rate.
This does not change the baud rate of the micro-board's UART. Setting a baud rate for the
M-Station USB interface that does not match the baud rate of the micro-board result in
incorrect communication and, most likely, nonsense characters on the screen.
