Testing a GSM module via Mecanique's Serial Communicator - "terminator" issue?

[Ioannis]

To add on Richard's post, if you insist on using the Serial Communicator, Help says this:

Parse Control Characters

When enabled, the parse control characters option enables you to send control characters in your message, using either a decimal or hexadecimal notation. For example, if you want to send hello world followed by a carriage return and line feed character, you would use hello world#13#10 for decimal, or hello world$D$A for hex. Only numbers in the range 0 to 255 will be converted. For example, sending the message letter #9712345 will be interpreted as letter a12345.

If the sequence of characters does not form a legal number, the sequence is interpreted as normal characters. For example, hello world#here I am. If you don't want characters to be interpreted as a control sequence, but rather send it as normal characters, then all you need to do is use the tilda symbol (~). For example, letter ~#9712345 would be sent as letter #9712345.

I should have read the communicator's help again - did it a few years ago but forgot the "hash" story... my bad :-\

Thanks again...
