Hi, i want to know if at one side of my receiver side some device is connected which only ubdrstand hex, and i will communicate with it using hyper terminal and rs232 port. My code which i have to transmit it is in hex., so if i write any hex value than at hyper terminal what it interpret?

I can't understand a working of hyper terminal and rs232 for interface with other device. Please give me some guidance. Regards, Heena.

Hyperterminal (Windows) HyperTerminal is the defacto terminal program for any Windows OS up to XP – Windows Vista, 7, and 8. If you’re on Windows Vista, 7, or 8, and really just have to have HyperTerminal, a little scouring of the Internet should turn up some workarounds. Better alternatives are more easily available however- we’ll get to those shortly. If you’re on a pre-Vista machine, and only have HyperTerminal to work with, here are some tips and tricks for using it: Initiating a Connection When initially opening up HyperTerminal, it will present you with a “Connection Description” dialog. Enter any name you please, and, if you really want to get fancy, select your favorite icon. Then hit “OK”. (If this window didn’t pop up go to File New Connection to open it.) None of the settings in this first window have any effect on the serial communication.

On the next window, ignore the first three text boxes – we’re not working with a dial-up modem here. Do select your COM port next to the “Connect using” box. Then hit “OK”. The settings on the next box should look pretty familiar. Make sure the “Bits per second” dropdown is set to the correct baud rate. And verify that all of the other settings are correct.

Type in the blank white area to send data, and anything that is received by the terminal will show up there as well. Adjusting Settings There are some limited adjustments we can make to the HyperTerminal UI. To find them, go to File Properties. Under the “Settings” tab you’ll see most of the options.

Serial port on the PC and the kit. Windows comes with a comms program called ‘HyperTerminal’ which is installed with Windows by default. If not then you can add HyperTerminal via ‘Add/Remove Programs’ in the Windows Control Panel. In Windows 95/98, click on the ‘Windows Setup’ tab and then select ‘Communications’. HyperTerminal Private Edition is a terminal emulation program that supports communications over TCP/IP networks, Dial-Up Modems, and serial COM ports.

If you want to see what you’re typing in the terminal, you can turn on local echo. To flip this switch, hit the “ASCII Setup” button, then check “Echo typed characters locally”. The other settings are very specific to formatting how characters are sent or received.

For most cases they should be let be. Those who have used HyperTerminal have either come to accept it for what it is, or sought out some other – any other(!) – terminal program. It’s not great for serial communication, but it does work. Let’s explore some of the better alternatives! In 2003, CU student Nate Seidle fried a power supply in his dorm room and, in lieu of a way to order easy replacements, decided to start his own company.
