Terminal to experiment with some devices using some ports, like serial port.

[[TOC]]

Introduction

For some cases, we have to interact with a device.

Some uses RS-232 serial ports, other USBTMC, and many more.

Before we can write our application, it's handy to use a terminal to get familiar with the device command interface.

There are a lot of terminal application that can communicate via RS232 serial port. Maybe not so much for USB-TMC. Also, some old devices are very slow, and don't work if we send bytes at the normal predefined rate (they must be sent one by one with some ms interval).

Status

Currently, I only work on RS-232 serial port.
