HomevisionXL terminal emulator
Terminal Emulator built into the main window for easy access
To turn the blank area of the HomeVision application main window into
something useful, it now contains the Terminal Emulator window. So no more
need to explicitly open it. It is just always there ready for you to send
commands to the controller.
Name lookup of object numbers in reported events
With the Terminal Emulator window always on the screen, the need arose to
get some translation of the standard cryptic messages from the controller.
References to objects in the standard messages are automatically translated
to the object name which is then appended to the message. To indicate this
is not part of the message received from the controller, the object name is
displayed in a different color from the rest of the message.
History of emulator commands
When using the terminal emulator it frequently happens that you want to send
a command similar to one sent before. Using the arrow keys you can just go
back through the list of commands given, edit one if necessary and excute
the command again.
