Using the Terminal
The Terminal application in Zaber Launcher provides an user-friendly interface for sending commands and receiving responses from Zaber devices. Terminal allows users to talk to devices directly using the Zaber ASCII protocol, and provides helpful features that are specific to serial communication with Zaber devices. Terminal can be useful for accessing less common functionality of Zaber devices, or for debugging and testing ASCII commands that you want to send using other means.
