Data Terminal Setup
Data terminal mode adds three windows at the bottom of the SVGA monitor: one for received data, one for
transmitted data and a status bar (see Figure 3). These windows occupy part of the area used by the waterfall
display. The height of the status bar is fixed. The sizes of the receive and transmit data windows, and the sizes
of the fonts used for them, are variable using the setup menu as described below.

Adjusting the Receive and Transmit Windows and Font Sizes
The area occupied by the receive and transmit data windows depends upon the font size and monitor resolution
used. Since the data windows occupy part of the space normally available to the waterfall display, you may need
to increase the size of the waterfall display to provide room for them.
If the transmit data window size is set to zero, data transmission is disabled, the transmit data
window will disappear and the keyboard becomes inactive.
