Using My Terminal
My Terminal is a program which we developed to test the ASCII command strings with the
4-Cast in a Microsoft Windows environment. You can use any ASCII Command Interface
software with the supported baud rate to send command strings to the 4-Cast. The
examples listed below were written for My Terminal; however, the commands are
universal and can be used with any ASCII Command Interface software.
To start the software:
1. Click on My Terminal.
2. Select the Com port you are using and click OK to continue. If you do not know the
Com port number on your computer, you can find out by right clicking on My
Computer->Hardware Tab->Device Manager->Ports.
3. When you see the screen shown in the figure below, press Enter to allow the
software to detect the module.

4. At this time, communication has been established between the My Terminal
software and the 4-Cast module. Now, you can start controlling the module by
inputting ASCII commands.
6. To close the software:
1. Type quit in the dialog box and hit enter.
2. Then select Quit, to close the program.
Note: Always type in quit before closing down My Terminal. Failure to complete this step
will cause the software to not detect the module the next time it is started.
