EniTerm |
The EniTerm software is made for serial or LAN setup and programming of the devices
manufactured by VILLBAU Security Systems Ltd. As these devices can be programmed
via a terminal interface, EniTerm also contains a universal terminal program.
The terminal makes possible to log incoming data streams (properly terminated) with timestamp
in a predefined directory. (Event logging)
|
The Open [F2] item of the File menu can be used to load
the predefined .ET or previously saved .ETS files containing the setup data of the devices.
The modified files can be saved at the Save [F3], or Save As [Ctrl+F3]
menu items with .ETS extension. |
The File/Exit
[Alt+F4] item can be used to close the program. Under it, the last 10 previously open
.ET and/or .ETS files are displayed making the opening and closing of the most commonly used
files easier. |
The loaded files contain various data, which are displayed according to the settings of the
View menu. Besides Description and Value the following can be
displayed: Program Address [Ctrl+A] and Program Type [Ctrl+T],
and the values read from the Device [Ctrl+E], from the the File [Ctrl+F], and the Default [Ctrl+D].
The latter three columns display their value in grey if it equals to the Value column, and in red, if differs.
Until there is no data upload, the Device column will not display any data (---). The width of the columns can be set freely at the column headers, but they can be reset to their default width with the View/Default Position item. |
A few notes to changing the items in the Value column In the Edit menu the values from the Device, Default or File column, or the entire column contents, can be copied to the Value column. These functions can be accessed with hotkeys:
Copying of single item values are directly done, but the copying of entire column contents should be confirmed before actually performed. |
By selecting the Edit/Find... [Ctrl+S] item, a „Find:” caption is displayed at the left of the status row, and the text to be found can be typed in. The search begins by pressing the [Enter] key, from the current line, and the cursor jumps to the line of the first occurence of the text automatically (if there is any). Pressing the [Enter] key again will jump to the next occurence - reaching the end of the table will continue from the top again. Selecting the Edit/Find... [Ctrl+S] item again, or pressing the [Esc] key will exit the search mode. |
The Communication/Port Settings [F8] item will pop up the settings of the
communication and the terminal window. As the .ET and .ETS files contain all serial settings to the selected devices, only the port number has to be given for programming (Read, Write). The selected serial port and its parameters are also displayed in the status row. When displaying the Port Settings window, the program scans all COM ports, so that only the available serial ports are displayed. |
The Communication/Read Data (-->PC) [F5] function reads out the data from
the device (upload). A window pops up, where the communication can be started (or cancelled), and
its progress is displayed. After successful communication the data from the device are displayed in
the Value and Device columns. If some of the values are modified, the differences are
displayed in red color in the device column. |
The Communication/Write Data (PC-->) [F6] item writes back the data of the
Value column to the device (download). Similar to readout, a small window pops up showing the progress
of the communication. If the Communication/Write Check option is selected, the
program reads back the data from the device after a successful download to verify the written data
immediately.
|
The Special commands menu contains the predefined commands which are used by the
program during up- and download (Read/Write) and also other utility commands which may be specific
to the selected device. Some of these commands are available without programming.
|
The View/Memory Map [Ctrl+M] item displays a window with the program/setup memory contents
of the selected device, by addresses. The memory segments of the different value types can be chosen, like the
"Used Addresses", "Device", "Default" and "File" contents.
|
The Eniterm program is written in English language by default, but it is possible for the user
to change the language of the program by modifying the file EniLang.ini located in the program
directory. Switching between the primary and secondary languages can be done with the View/Change Language
menu item. When editing the file EniLang.ini, it is important, that only the texts for the "secondary language"
should be changed, otherwise the program will display the texts in the original (primary) language. The contents
of the file EniLang.ini can be changed even while the EniTerm program is running, but the changes will only take effect
upon selecting the View/Change Language item again, or after restarting of EniTerm.
|
The program settings of EniTerm are stored in the file EniTerm.ini. The location for this file
is the program directory by default. At startup, the program checks, if it was started locally or from a network
location - in this case the EniTerm.ini file will be stored in the \Windows\ directory of the local machine. This
makes the network usage of EniTerm possible, by storing the settings for all users locally.
