My name is Roger Meier, and I am NOT a professional programmer. Writing my own programs is a hobby that I picked up when I couldn't find any winsows (if at all) freeware or shareware for certain tasks for which I wanted to use a computer.I picked Xojo (formerly REALBasic) as my language of choice for several reaons, including its structure, its "object-orientedness", coolterm for windows 7 capability to create executables coolteerm Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux Platforms, and last but not least for its fairly large and helpful user community.Over the years I've created a fair amount of small apps and tools for my self, and every once in while I end up with something that may be of general use.
These are the applications that are posted on this website.If you are coolterm for windows 7 Xojo programmer or hobbyist like myself, I also host several open-source projects that you might be interested in.Visit myForumsSubscribeto my FeedFollow meon TwitterVisit myBlogEmail me THE SOFTWARE TITLES ON THIS WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE Ccoolterm OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

Easy to learn and use!ConsNone that I can think of.SummaryWe use this program to talk with machines and has performed better then expected.
It was very easy to learn. Who is it that said that nothing good can come from BASIC? Even now I am considering on getting Dark BASIC myself. Thank you Roger very much for this GEM that came about the right cookterm. I hope that in a future edition that the changing of a CommPort, Baud Rate and Flow Control could be on the main GUI interface. Along with "Run" and "Stop" buttons with a repetitions input. Also perhaps with a two pane window, one that is an Editor and the other as a Terminal.
This configuration would help in the quick test of Comm ports with a loopback. Also this could be helpful in snappy edit and results of edit.Reply to this reviewWas this review helpful?

The terminal supports both raw and line mode which enables you to adjust it to various device types.The interface is easy to use and displays the messages received from the device as ASCII characters. You can change it windowe hexadecimal view if you feel more comfortable with this reading mode.You can send a string or a text file ror the connected hardware in order to view the response.
If you need to run multiple tests, the app allows you to record the responses to a text document in order to review them later.While the program is clearly designed for users who know how to send messages through the COM ports, it includes a documentation that aims to familiarize the casual users.
