                   Serial Port Status

    This module displays the current status of your serial port.

    A " 1 " in the left column indicates a TRUE condition.
    A " 0 " in the left column indicates a FALSE condition.

    In this module, any keys struck are not transmitted to the
    serial port.




          
                   Parallel Port Status

    This module displays the current status of your parallel port.

    A " 1 " in the left column indicates a TRUE condition.
    A " 0 " in the left column indicates a FALSE condition.

    In this module, any keys struck are not transmitted to the 
    parallel port.





                   Init Serial Port


     Select your desired communications protocol.
                   Baud rate
                   Parity
                   Data bits (word length)
                   Stop bits

     Select [ S ] Save in order to initialize port.




                   Init Parallel Port



     Selection of this module will automatically
     initialize the Parallel port you selected.

     Once initialized, the current status of the
     parallel port is displayed.





                   Select Mode


    [ 1 ] Monitor Port  -  Monitor the selected Port only.
          No transmitting is allowed.  For serial data
          communications, DTR and RTS are set to low.

    [ 2 ] Online Port   - Places computer Online with
          selected port.  Data transmission is also
          allowed.

    [ 3 ] Capture Port  - Capture port data for
          repetetive review.

                   Autospeed

    This module will attempt to automatically synchronize
    to the baud rate and protocol of data appearing only
    at the serial ports.  In order to operate effectively,
    data must appear consistently throughout the test.
    At the end of the test the serial port selected is
    initialized to that of the data appearing at the port.






                   Dos Shell


     A temporary exit to the operating system.

     Return back to this program via EXIT command.
