Getting Started

SBC Data Capture

When SBC data capture is enabled, the following button will be displayed in the command bar:

Clicking this button will cause all data received from the host to be sent to a file.

SBC data capture is enabled by including the following entries in the registry under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\pericom\appname.exe

where appname.exe is the name of the executable file.

SbcEnabled

binary value

00 or 01 (01 to enable)

SbcParser

string value

e.g. "sbcparser -f:"

SbcFilename

string value

e.g. "\temp\sbcdata.txt"

SbcCmdStr

string value

e.g. "\015\012" (what is transmitted when

 

 

the button is clicked) e.g. CR LF

SbcTerminator

binary value

e.g. 25 (for the % character)

The example entries above will cause data from the host to be written to a file called \temp\sbcdata.txt and then launch sbcparser with the command line arguments -f:\temp\sbcdata.txt. The transfer will stop when the % terminator character is received.

The Soft Buttons

A set of soft buttons are provided which can be programmed so that they perform various functions when clicked. You can toggle between command bar and soft button display either by clicking the following buttons:

or by pressing the keys Ctrl + Alt + Left Cursor or Ctrl + Alt + Right Cursor. (Note that you can assign these functions to any other keys using the virtual key names CB_NEXT and CB_PREV.)

You can define up to four soft button levels. Level 1 is displayed by default. Each level consists of twelve programmable buttons, providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. Levels stored off-screen can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking one of the arrow buttons.
