Termite Terminal - RS232 Interfacing

Termite is an easy to use and easy to configure RS232 terminal. It uses an interface similar to that of "messenger" or "chat" programs, with a large window that contains all received data and an edit line for typing in strings to transmit.

Plug-in interface for pre-processing or alternative views of the data, logging received data to a file, adding a toolbar to Termite, and other functionality that you may think of.

It can also do ..

• A history of commands that you typed, with auto-completion.
• Support for non-standard Baud rates (MIDI, DMX512).
• Data can be forwarded between two RS232 ports.

Antronics Ltd - Project Design Portfolio

In product development, the most important thing is to communicate and interact with the customer. To get the inputs very clear, goes a long way in customer satisfaction and project's technical success.

Even if the customer is not able to create a Black Box Specifications but is able to indicate the need or problem. Then you can arrive at the specs by incremental prototyping, to gather full requirements.
