I have a serial data stream where a string is terminated by 'carriage return' only, I would like this to be overwritten on the display by subsequent strings until a 'line feed' is received. It appears that by default RealTerm adds a 'line feed' character after receiving a 'carriage return' and I cannot find a way to suppress this behaviour. I know that other terminal programs can do this (e.g. TeraTerm or MobaXterm) but i'm used to RealTerm and would prefer to keep using it. Thanks Jim

A framing error means that there was an edge where there should not be. It likely means that the data is longer than the uart expects. e.g. UART is set to 7 bits, 2 stop bits. Data is 8 bits long. A framing error occurs when the last data bit is a 0, when the uart expects a stop bit (1) Wrong baud rate could also be a cause, as could wrong data polarity.

The issue occurs because RealTerm relies on registry keys to populate the list of available serial ports. If a serial port isn't properly registered, RealTerm might fail to detect it. Most likely, it is unable to find the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM or lacks the necessary access permissions. This method of listing serial ports is not ideal, and modern software uses the SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty function instead of directly accessing HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM....

The whole serial system has a bunch of buffering and of course is running on a time-sliced operating system. What you will get is the time the OS returns when Realterm goes to write the timestamp to file. This may bear some relationship with when the characters arrived at the connector pins. how many milliseconds from the previous byte The correct tool to do this is an oscilloscope or a logic analyser. i.e. a hardware device, not a computer.

Anonymous posted a comment on discussion Help and Discussion

You need to work out if it is ASCII text, or two byte binary values. It probably is ASCII text, so just send those characters. It is irrelevant that they happen to represent hex values. If it was binary, you would also need to know if the numbers were big or small endian. Seems unlikely to be binary.

Hello, I have a display aircraft unit. There is a RS232 port to send a command. i would like to use the Realterm to send the commands to this unit. Following the manual, i have to send a command as: "316 0 0 FFFF" to reset the unit. i can send the command as characters text, but it seems this command is kind of hexadecimal number. Any suggestions, please. Thank you

How can I make the terminal respond with the start command when it receives the query? Probably difficult to do in RT What I would try first is just sending the printer reply to the panel regularly. If you are lucky, the panel will just send the data when if it has the reply in its buffer, and not worry too much about the exact timing. Realterm can easily send stuff in a loop and capture the data sent back.

DumpFile does exactly what it says: dumps the file. If you put "0x34" in the file, that is what it will dump. If you want to send binary chars, use a binary/hex editor to make the file. See link above. If you are only sending small char groups, the instead of using the file dump, you could make a command file using one of the sendxxxx commands

I think (from that printer manual) the enq is asking the printer for a status report. You are not sending a status report back, so the device thinks that there is no printer connected, and won't bother sending data. I would think that you need to connect the printer. Connect your laptop serial port/s across the printers TXD, and see what it is sending back in response to the ENQ The problem here is that if the panel sends the ENQ, and then immediately expects the printers reply, you will need a special...

The port tab controls flow settings. If there are no hardware flow control lines, then flow control must be something like xon/xoff sending an xon from the printer would usually start character flow. Thisprinter page suggests enq/stx is being used for status requests while xon/xoff is used for flow control. RT does allow you to change the actual chars used for xon/xoff

ENQ is ASCII code 0x05 (5) and STX is ASCII code 0x02 (2). ENQ is short for Enquiry and STD is shorts for Start of Test My guess is the printer sends and ENQ when ever it is ready to receive data. And assume that the data starts with an STX. However, I don't know how the printer tells the computer to stop sending when the printers buffer is full. Normal convention for serial printers is to use CTRL/S (DC3, XOFF) to stop the data send and CTRL/Q (DC1, XON) to resume it. Many serial printers use the...

BTW, you have too much RC on the serial line for this baud rate (left hand picture) Don't expect it to work reliably. When sending single high bits, each bit should look like the right picture i.e. coming up to a flat top, not the left one i.e. still rising.
