User Manual:

Recording serial data:
When Serial Data Logger is recording it will append the bytes received from the serial port to the chosen file.
Recording can be started even before connecting to a serial port. This makes sure that no data is missed from
the moment the program has connected to the serial port and later disconnected.
The recording file must be set before starting to record. A timer can be set before recording. The timer has
two values: start and duration. For example: if the timer is enabled and "start" is set to 10 minutes and
duration is set to 30 minutes that means the program will start to record in 10 minutes and stop recording in
30 minutes after recording has started. After enabling the timer with the desired values entered the start/record
button must be pressed to initiate the timer.

Presets:
There are two presets to make it easier to load frequently used port settings. The presets can also be renamed.
Enter the desired name into the textbox on right of the Rename button and press that button to save the name of the preset.
If the textbox is empty the default name will be given to the preset (ex: Preset 1). When the program is launched no preset is selected
therefore the Save button won't do anything. After selecting either preset, pressing the Save button will save the following settings:
baud rate (bits per second), data bits, parity and stop bits. When the program is connected to a port the settings cannot be changed
but the currently selected preset can still be renamed.

Terminal font:
The font and size of the font of the two terminals can be changed.
The program will list all of the installed fonts on the system upon loading. If additional fonts are installed on the
system while Serial Data Logger is running they will not be displayed in the list until the program is restarted.
These settings will save automatically upon closing of the program.
The default font is Consolas with a size of 10. If that isn't installed on the system another font will be set.

Future/To-Do:
Implementation of serial plotter/graph feature.
UI improvements.
