    Talking Hyperterminal Question

    Hello,
    I am sending serial data to my windows 2000 Hyperterminal window successfully, however I would like to have all the data "left alligned" so that I can do a simple copy/paste/export to excell for delimiting and graphing. I have been using the 10 command for line feedout thinking this would do the job. I have also googled the top of serial commands for hyperterminal with no luck. If anyone know I would sure appreciate the help.

    Code:
    SEROUT PORTA.2,N2400,[10,"VALUE ", #eepaddr,"  ",#B0," counts"
    I have included a screen shot so you can see what I currently see in my HT window.

    10 is for line feed only, doesn't reset the 'cursor' back to the left.
    13 is for carraige return, resets the cursor back to the left.

    so, end your serial output line with 10 , 13
    line feed, then carraige return

    Code:
    SEROUT PORTA.2,N2400,[10,"VALUE ", #eepaddr,"  ",#B0," counts" , 10 , 13

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.

    Does anyone know if there is something you can send to clear the terminal screen?

    If it's Hyperterminal or else ANSI compatible software, then yes, and much more.

    This link has a very nice summary of the codes.

    Also, you might consider using Tera Term Pro (free!). Much nicer than Hyperterminal IMHO.
