/end

/begin "Normal menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 3
Normal operation assumes that there is no automatic
baud rate detection or line testing taking place. Only
one of these three menu items can be selected (checked)
at any one time.
/end

/begin "Auto Baud Detect menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 4
The DCE baud rate cycles from the current baud rate through
all defined baud rates (including your custom ones if
applicable).

Although not a full-proof method of identifying baud "rates,"
this capability can dramatically save you time when you
are confronted with communications gear that has no
documentation or specifications.

For this to work "properly," you must have data "bits,"
"parity, and stop bits" properly set. To terminate
"detection," simple uncheck this menu item.

Automatic baud rate detection can take place in either
interactive or monitor mode.
/end

/begin "Line Test menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 5
A sequence of data bytes are transmitted down the
line and the exact value expected.  BreakOut-II
will verify that each byte is returned without error
and matching the last byte that was sent.  In "addition,"
a timeout of 2 seconds is allowed for any character to
be successfully received.

Signal changes are ignored during a test. To terminate
these "tests," simply uncheck this menu item.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "DTR menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 6
Depending on the current signal value of "DTR,"
the new value is toggled to the opposite value.

For "example," if Data Terminal Ready (DTR) is
currently a logical 0 (ie. disabled) then checking
this option will enable it to a logical 1.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "RTS menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 7
Depending on the current signal value of "RTS,"
the new value is toggled to the opposite value.

For "example," if Request To Send (RTS) is currently
a logical 0 (ie. disabled) then checking this
option will enable it to a logical 1.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "Break menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 8
Depending on the current signal value of "RTS,"
the new value is toggled to the opposite value.

For "example," if Line Break (BRK) is currently
a logical 0 (ie. disabled) then checking this
option will enable it to a logical 1.

Note that when Line Break is set to a "1," the
line spacing condition will NOT ALLOW any transmission
of data.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "Single Port Settings menu item (Communications menu)"   / HELP_SETUP + 9
When this menu item is "checked," both the DCE and DTE
(in monitor mode) or the COMP and COMS (in interactive
mode) will use the same port settings. If "checked,"
the COMP (or DCE) port will always use those settings
available to the COMS (or DTE) port.

If unchecked and in monitor mode, port settings are
independent. If unchecked and in interactive mode, the
settings revert back to the COMS setting.

This status is kept in "BreakOut-II's" configuration
file.
/end

/begin "Port Settings menu item (Communications menu)"             / HELP_SETUP + 10
You CONFIGURE a port by using the SETCOM utility program
to indicate which physical I/O port is used for both
COMP and COMS.

You SET a port when you need to specify baud rate, data
bits, parity, and stop bits.

Port settings are kept in "BreakOut-II's" configuration
file.
/end

/begin "Reset menu item (Communications menu)"          / HELP_SETUP + 11
Resetting the communications will simply reset all
pending events that have not been displayed in the
CEB. Note that those events are lost and the
communications ports are reset.
/end

/begin "Playback Macro menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_MACROS + 0  (HELP_OPTIONS in version 4)
You may playback a macro by either searching for the
macro desired after selecting this menu "item," or
you may simply press the macro key.

To delete a "macro," do the following from DOS:
"1. Delete all macros with:  DEL *.MAC"
"2. Delete Shift+F2 macro with:  DEL SFT_F2.MAC"
"3. Delete Ctrl+F2 macro with:  DEL CTRL_F2.MAC"
"4. Delete Alt+F2 macro with:  DEL ALT_F2.MAC"
/end

/begin "Record menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 1
You may record a macro:
   Shift+F2, ... Shift+F10
   Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, ... Ctrl+F10
   Alt+F1, Alt+F2, ... Alt+F10

If a macro is already defined for the key "desired,"
the previous definition is simply overwritten.

After you have selected the key and entered in the
"macro's description," all keys typed are recorded in
a macro file.  The macro recording will terminate when
you press the macro key (such as Alt+F1) again.

During the recording of a "macro," the left musical
note icon on the control screen is highlighted. You can
only start recording in the communications panel although
a macro can be terminated while in the event editor panel.
/end

/begin "Keyboard Map menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 2
You may select the keyboard map (ASCII.KMO or
EBCDIC.KMO).

If you select "EBCDIC," you should select either the
HEX.DCO or the EBCDIC.DCO display character set.
/end

/begin "Capture menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 3
Checking this menu item will immediately start a
capture of all following events encountered. Before you
"capture," consider if you need Timestamp checked. A
capture always starts at the end of the event editor's
workspace.

To terminate a "capture," uncheck Capture.

You will be asked for a capture description.
/end

/begin "Trigger menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 4
Checking this menu item will immediately wait for a
trigger condition to be recognized. Once a match "occurs,"
all following events encountered up to and including
the ending trigger condition that. Before you
"trigger," consider if you need Timestamp checked. A
trigger always starts at the end of the event editor's
workspace.

You will be asked for a trigger description. To terminate
a "trigger," uncheck Trigger.

Triggers are not referenced from the configuration file.
/end

/begin "Restart Capture menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 5
The restart will actually clear the entire workspace
event buffer and start over. This takes place normally
whenever the capture so far has "gone amok."
/end

/begin "Open Trigger menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 6
Start and Stop trigger definitions are stored in
.TRG files. In order to start a "trigger," a trigger
definition must be created. Once "edited," the definition
can be saved to a file to be opened later.
/end

/begin "Define Trigger menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 7
Define the starting and stopping definition for triggers.
If you wish to terminate the "definition," press Esc
at anytime.
/end

/begin "Save Trigger menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 8
Save the trigger definition to a filename with .TRG
filename extension. Don't forget to add a description
so that you can tell one trigger from another.

To terminate the "request," simply press Esc.
/end

/begin "Transmit Capture File menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 9
You may transmit a capture file as DTE data events
either once or continuously. Capture files always have
a .CAP filename extension.

Note that if the data appears to be missing some of
the higher-order bits, your communications setup may
not be setup for the full 8 data bit configuration.

Time stamp delays as well as DTE signals are also
appropriately handled.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "Transmit Data File menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 10
You may specify a data file to transmit as DTE data
events either once or continuously.  The current
DTE signal (DTR and RTS) values are maintained for
every data byte transmission.

Note that if the data appears to be missing some of
the higher-order bits, your communications setup may
not be setup for the full 8 data bit configuration.

We recommend that you choose a filename extension that
makes sense for the data type. Examples: .TXT for
ASCII text and .DAT for binary files.

This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "Transmit Selected Workspace Events menu item"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 11
If you have selected a range of events in the
workspace buffer you may transmit DTE data events
either once or continuously.

This is considerably faster than
the capture file transmission since the transmission
is directly from memory. You MAY NOT capture events
while this option is selected!

The current DTE signal (DTR and RTS) values are
NOT maintained automatically since the captured
file stores DTE signal values with each data event.

Note that if the data appears to be missing some of
the higher-order "bits," your communications setup may
not be setup for the full 8 data bit configuration.
This option is only available in interactive mode.
/end

/begin "Continuous menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 12
Checking this mode will allow for the transmit options
to continue until you uncheck Continuous.

If you wish to transmit only the last character
transmitted "last," simply press F9. Make sure that
you didn't pulldown a menu item right before pressing
F9. To stop a F9 repeated "data transmission," press
either F9 or Esc.

This menu item is not saved in the configuration file.
/end

/begin "XON/XOFF menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 13
Checking this menu item will force a transmit to
be controlled by the receiving DCE. This connected
device will stop a transmission if BreakOut-II receives
an XOFF (or Ctrl+S).

If the DCE responds at some point with an "XON (Ctrl+Q),"
then the transmit will continue from where it left off.

XON/XOFF status is not saved in the configuration file.
/end

/begin "Timestamp menu item (Options menu)"          / HELP_OPTIONS + 14
Enabling the time stamping to take place will append
a millisecond between this event and the last event
to each and every event. Checking the Timestamp menu
item enables time stamping to take place.

To disable time "stamping," uncheck the Timestamp
menu item.

Time stamp status is saved in the configuration file.
/end

/begin "Line test error"                                    / HELP_LINETEST1
Comparison of incoming character does not match
the character that was transmitted.  Possible
cause:
  - You inadvertently sent a keyboard character
    during the test
  - Data Communications Equipment (DCE) malfunction

Line testing is now terminated.
/end

/begin "Line test error"                                    / HELP_LINETEST2
There is no response from the communications
