Configuration using DataViewer
DataViewer is an enhanced terminal emulation program that facilitates analysis of RS-232 and TCP/IP communication with Extron devices. The software allows users to send commands to a device and view the device’s responses in ASCII or hexadecimal format. Command and response logs can be saved in text or HTML format.
The data display can be configured in several ways for improved analysis of data communication. Text colors and fonts are user-definable making it easy to differentiate between commands and responses. Four different screen view options are available for viewing commands and responses in the most effective configurations and formats.
With the DataViewer Control Toolbar and Shift Toolbar, you can customize up to 20
shortcut keys. Shortcut keys can be used to automate repetitive communications tasks. DataViewer is ideal for troubleshooting device protocols and determining device timing.
DataViewer is available free from www.extron.com.
