14.4 Using Minicom
The CMG-EAM includes the Linux program minicom as a terminal
emulator for use with serial devices, including Güralp digitisers. The
following is part of the minicom man page.
Minicom is window based. To pop up a window with the function you
want, hold the
key while typing
(from now on, we will use
+
to denote this), and then the function key (a-z or A-Z). By
pressing
+
first and then
, a help screen comes up with a
short summary of all commands.
For every menu the following keys can be used:
•
UP
or
•
DOWN
or
•
LEFT
or
•
RIGHT
or
•
CHOOSE
•
CANCEL
The screen is divided into two portions: the upper 24 lines are the
terminal-emulator screen. In this window, ANSI or VT100 escape
sequences are interpreted. If there is a line left at the bottom, a status
line is placed there. If this is not possible the status line will be
showed every time you press
+
. On terminals that have a
special status line, it will be used if the termcap information is
complete and the -k flag has been given. Possible commands are listed
next, in alphabetical order.
+
Pressing
+
a second time will just send a
+
to the remote system. If you have changed your "escape
character" to something other than
+
, this works
analogously for that character.
Toggle 'Add Linefeed' on/off. If it is on, a linefeed is added
before every carriage return displayed on the screen.
