 └───────────────────────────┘
╖Just as the name implies, SPLog now provides an easy and simple Terminal subprogram. It is here to aid you with your com port device communication such as a TNC or a Modem. This Terminal subprogram does not care what is connected to a com port, and that alone is its power. For those of you who are not sure what this means, it gives SPLog the power to communicate with just about anything, providing the Com Port is configured correctly. 2
The Terminal Program is Preconfigured as follow: v
 TNC: PK232     Com Port Speed: 4800 Baud.   ComPort: Com1
 Parity: None   Data Bits: 8                 Stop Bits: 1
p
This configuration should allow you to communicate with about 90% of commonly available communication devices. ├
There is however a down side. Because the use and purpose of the SPLog Terminal subprogram has been left open, you MUST provide the communication and initialization commands for a given device. 

 ie i: If you are using a TNC such as PK232 and wish to change
       the Host Mode, you have to manually type: HOST ON/OFF.
╗
   ii: If you are using a modem you must manually enter all the
       commands such as:  ATDT 1-(519)-756-5661 will Tone Dial the
       above number, or ATZ will initialize the Modem.
k

Please refer to your communication device manual for details on command list/summary and initialization. ╖
There is however help. Upon the initial Terminal load, SPLog automatically sends an appropriate *.INI (initialization) file to the port. You can select the correct *.INI file by selecting your TNC type from the list located in the  "Options | Terminal Setup" window. All the *.INI files have been designed to be of a straight Dos Text format, so you can use any Editor / Word Processor to enter or change all the initialization commands.

╝The "Terminal Setup" menu command takes you to the Com Port and Terminal setup dialog box. SPLog needs this information to properly interface with your communication device such as a TNC. $
Here SPLog collects the following: -
 ■ TNC Type:                 Default: RS232
p
You have a choice of up to 7 different communication devices: PK232, KAM, TNC1, TNC2, MFJ1278, KPC, and MODEM. W
SPLog uses this information, to send the appropriate initialization file to your TNC. r
 ie.: If you choose KPC SPLog sends the KPC.INI file
      to the TNC when the terminal mode is first initiated.
%
All the *.INI files have a simple straight Dos Text format, so you can freely and easily customize all of them to your personal needs. You can use just about any editor or word processor on the market to accomplish the task, just remember the format of the *.INI file must remain "Dos Text". ≥
If the *.INI file is not found, SPLog will display a warning. You can create the file in the same manner as if you ware to edit the file. Just remember to add the INI extension.  The First line in all of the *.INI files is ignored by SPLog. -

 ■ Com Port Speed:           Default: 4800
ê
You have a choice of up to 7 different speeds: 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400, but the last two have remained untested. -
 ■ Com Port:                 Default: Com 1
y
SPLog provides support for the standard four com ports (Com1-4). Although most of the time only the first two are used. ░
SPLog also assumes the standard IBM port addresses: 3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8. as well as the standard com port interrupts: 4, 3, 4, 3. So your computer must me 100% IBM Compatible. 1

 ■ Parity:                   Default: N - None
3
SPLog provides support for the following options: <
 N - None,  E - Even,  O - Odd,  M,1 - Mark   S,0 - Space.
)
 ■ Data Bits:                Default: 8

There is support for both the 7 and 8 data bits formats. )
 ■ Stop Bits:                Default: 1
:
There is support for both the 1 and 2 stop bits formats. +
 ■ Local Echo:               Default: Off
L
Gives you the capability to locally echo all the key strokes typed by you. +
 ■ Add Line Feed:            Default: Off

SPLog provides full support for up to 13 Bands, and the "Band Setup" Window collects data for those bands, but Wait that's Not ALL, every single Log file that you open (create) could be configured for entirely different band set, so the absolute band configuration is unlimited. ¢
 ie.: If you have 3 Log files each configured with a different
      band set, you are actually accounting and using
      13+13+13 = 39 different bands.
A
 Underneath is a detailed account on how the band window works.

 ■ Band:
F
   ─ Here you should enter the Band number.
     ie. 160, 80, 40, 6.

 ■ Band Lower Limit:
_
   ─ Here you enter the Band Lower Limit.
     ie. For 80 M Band the Lower Limit is 3.500 MHz

 ■ Band Upper Limit:
_
   ─ Here you enter the Band Upper Limit.
     ie. For 80 M Band the Upper Limit is 4.000 MHz
K
 ■ For the U.S. or Canadian Band Plan, refer to Appendix A in the Manual.

 ■■ The Satellite Use:
x
─ The last two fields (M and N) are designed for satellites, but you can enter regular bands instead if you so desire. 5
─ If you have decided to go with satellites, enter: ⌡
     Band Name  │ Lower Limit │ Upper Limit

     SKM or SMK │      K      │      K
G
The letter A, B, J, K, etc. correspond to appropriate satellite mode. %
 SAM or SMA means Satellite Mode A.
ü
 ■ Remember: When you append satellite QSO, enter
             the Satellite Mode Letter in the
             "Frequency" field.

 ■ Remember: If you change the Band setup, your
             Log Summary may no longer be accurate,
             and you may have to recreate it.
             You can do that by executing the

It is extremely important that the format of the DXCC country file does not change even slightly. If you decide to add a new country or edit an old one, make sure the country name is spelled exactly the same as in some other instance, and that no blanks are added to the name. It is recommended that you contact Alpha Business Software for the updates to the DXCC Country List. 

Remember! ê
Always make a backup before editing the DXCC country file. Better safe than sorry!, and you never know when something might go WRONG!! ▒

Alpha Business Software strives to make its products error free. If you find an error in the DXCC list, please let us know, so that other users may benefit from your efforts.

┼Selecting the "Open Log File" sub-menu from the "Log" menu takes you here to the "Select Log File" dialog box. Here you can swap the current (loaded) Log with another logbook, or create a new one. 
Whatever Logbook you specify or create will become the current (working) Log for which all the SPLog functions and commands operate on. The Log which was in use before, is saved to the disk, and will not be altered in any way until it is made current again.  
Pressing the [ Cancel ] button, or <Esc> key while in the "Select Log File" dialog box will return control to the SPLog environment, and the logbook file that was in use before this command was executed will remain as the current (working) logbook file. ±
Logbook file names are defined by the user. The only limitation on file names are the restrictions imposed by DOS. File name can be no longer than 8 characters. SPLog automatically adds the ".SPL" file extension at the end of the log name. ï
Creating logbook files is easy. Just type the name of the logbook in the "Name" input line, that's all. SPLog will take care of the rest. +
   ie: VE3NPL, MYLOG, LOGBOOK, LOG92 etc.
Z

Loading an existing log is just as easy. It can be accomplished in one of the two ways: ^
1. Simply retype the name of the Logbook file in the "Name" input line and press <Enter>, or q
2. Press <Tab> once to enter "Files" window. Using the arrow keys select the desired Logbook and press <Enter>. ═

╔SPLog has a built in safety feature that constantly checks the total amount of conventional memory available. If you are here, it means that something has gone a little wrong and you have just reached the memory safety pool (Dropped below the 30k minimum allowable free memory). Upon dialog exit SPLog will terminate the current session. If the session is not terminated, SPLog may crash, and if that happens, you may loose part of your logbook or summary. ò

|Six Fields (Call, Mode, Freq, Date, QSL S and QSL R ) are the core of SPLog. Their function and actions are outlined below. 
■ The Call Sign Field: Z
1. A DIGIT (0..9) OR '/' MUST appear within the first three characters of the Call Sign. ;
2. CALL sign MUST be at least three characters in length. "
3. Blank ' ' can not be present. 	
      VE3NPL      ─ Will be read as Canada.
      VE3/SP9FLY  ─ Will be read as Canada.
      SP/VE3NPL   ─ Will be read as Poland.

                                             if you want Poland)
Y
If those three conditions are not satisfied the program will generate an ERROR message. 
Incorrect Call Sign Examples: 
      SPVE3NPL  ─ Will create an ERROR message. Rule 1.
      SP VE3NPL ─ Will create an ERROR message. Rule 1, 3.
      SP\VE3NPL ─ Will create an ERROR message. Rule 1.
      SP-VE3NPL ─ Will create an ERROR message. Rule 1.

■ The Freq (Frequency) Field: ]
For this field to work, you have to complete the Band Setup dialog box in the Options menu. /
Don't forget the DOT (.) between MHz and KHz. ]
   ie.  1.834 for 160 M Band

   B for Mode B (.70 M up/2 M down)

     in to frequency field.
n
Additional satellite modes are available, providing the band setup is configured to accommodate those modes. ¥

■ The "Date" Field: (mm/dd/yy) can be either correct or empty. If date is not provided the program will default to 00/00/00, which is understood as empty. ╦
─ If you are running SPLog in its real-time mode, the Date and Time is taken from the system. This feature can be turned ON or OFF using the auto Date & Time option in the Option │ Switches dialog box. ╣

■ The "QSL S" (QSL Send) and "QSL R" (QSL Received) fields can be in one of two logical states, either 'Y' (Yes) or 'N' (No). If anything else is entered the program will automatically assume the 'N' (No) answer. It is important to enter 'Y' in the "QSL R" field as soon as you receive the QSL card. It is based on this field that SPLog can tell how many countries you have confirmed, as well as perform other statistics and calculations. 3₧
