#21 Binary dump to port needed badly

[jerry hodson]

add dump to file feature called [x] binary.
here I click the binary box and make a text file like
0x13, 0x04 , 0x0d, 0xdc delay=10

and the port does

13040ddc in hex

a delay would be nice.

delay=xx here xx is 0 to 99 milliseconds (approx)

this would be very powerful,to end users.

thank you.

great proggy, super actually

What is the problem with using a hex editor (eg try Multiedit) to just make the binary file directly?
Surely there is less editing without all those 0x's
Also this utility should be able to convert a hex file to binary http://srecord.sourceforge.net/

i explained badly ( i know how to edit binary or anything for that matter)
I am only using realterm because it allows illegal baud rates !

I am using Realterm , to communicate to an external rs232 device . ( and works perfect ,hunt and peck along)

I am (on the side writing some code for C++ to do my own data logger) (WIP)

but in the interum , I would like to send a block of transmitted commands , 4 bytes each , and in binary. 32 blocks of 4 total).
the dump command will allow that but has 1 serious limit, it only does simple text.
i need to send in hex, 13,04,00,E9 , and 31 simular codes.

the best form would be.
dump.txt

directive hex.
0X13,0X04,0X00,OXE9 (White space ignored and commas due to directive hex)
delay (10); { 10mS delay)< crude is ok.
31 more like above but diff. values.
end hex.

with this feature the program would be POWERFUL indeed.

thanks for responding.

cheers jerry
