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.
