Log Functions
Log Functions All logging functions are found under the File menu. To start keeping a log, select
Log to Disk from the File menu. The other options on this menu are View Disk Log,
Clear Disk Log, Clear Screen, and Exit.
Compact flash technology does not support an unlimited number of
writes. Use the compact flash to store applications but avoid using it
for file storage. If your application generates files, save the files on a
remote system.
Using Peer To use peer, simply type in commands at the : prompt. (It may be necessary to
press Enter to make the : prompt appear.) For example, to examine COM5, type:
PORT COM5
To gather some information about the port, type: STAT . This should
return details about the port.
To turn on monitoring of any calls into driver (events), type: MON EV
To send strings and commands to attached peripherals—for example, to send
“ATH0” to a modem—type: SEND ATH0 . A return and linefeed are always
appended to each string sent.
Other Peer
Commands Enter commands at the : prompt and follow each command with Enter.
Keep in mind that all commands are processed in the driver, and that Peer simply
acts as a conduit for this information.
For more information, see the Peer.hlp help file.
Device Driver and OS Capabilities and Limitations
This device driver supports the Win32 API. The following tables list known device
driver and operating system capabilities and limits. This information is not
relevant to ordinary users, but is important to software developers.
Note: In Windows NT, device names above COM9 require the \\.\ prefix in order
to be recognized by the system. For example, to reference COM20, use
\\.\COM20 as the file name.
