Tera Term (alternatively TeraTerm) is an open-source, free, software implemented, terminal emulator (communications) program. It emulates different types of computer terminals, from DEC VT100 to DEC VT382. It supports Telnet, SSH 1 & 2 and serial port connections. It also has a built-in macro scripting language (supporting Oniguruma regular expressions) and a few other useful plugins.
The first versions of Tera Term were created by T. Teranishi from Japan. At the time, it was the only freely available terminal emulator to effectively support the Japanese language. Original development of Tera Term stopped in the late 1990s at version 2.3, but other organizations have created variations.
Tera Term (or TeraTerm) is a free and open source terminal emulation application which can function as a telnet or SSH client.The application features support for a number of terminal types from DEC VT100 to DEC VT382. It includes a built-in macro scripting language which can be used to automate certain tasks.Tera Term features a clean user interface which allows its users to complete tasks in an orderly fashion. Simply setup a host by inputting a remote address, port number and optional commands to perform when connecting to a host. It works as a nice alternative to PuTTY.The setup of this client include a number of options that may be configured like installation of TTSSH, CygTerm, LogMeTT, TTLEdit, TTProxy, etc. A number of plugins can also be used when installing Term Term.Options for the SSH/Telnet client include terminal setup (selection of terminal emulation, terminal size, answerback, etc.), SSH authentication options including cipher control, general TCP/IP settings and more. These options can be saved for future settings as an INI file.In conclusion, Tera Term is a simple and straightforward client that can connect to a number of different hosts that includes options to customize terminal emulation with different encryption options.Features of Tera Term
Tera Term is a free terminal emulator for different computer terminals: DEC VT100, DEC VT382, etc. TeraTerm is compatible with Microsoft Windows PC computers and laptops on Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista operating systems. The freeware establishes serial port, SSH, and Telnet connections. TT manages remote connections that come from a PC.
PuTTY, RealTerm, SecureCRT, and WinSCP are comparable terminal platforms. PuTTY, RealTerm, and WinSCP are additional open-source emulators. PuTTY is a popular SSH client. PuTTY can be a client for rlogin, serial, TCP, and Telnet connections.
WinSCP is an SFTP and FTP client that secures file transfers from a local to a remote device. RealTerm is primarily for debugging terminal program issues. SecureCRT can be for commercial purposes since the platform is not open-source and it mainly focuses on security.
Tera Term is a freeware for Microsoft Windows PCs that lets you communicate with remote systems through TCP/IP and serial connections. TT is a complete terminal application that boasts many features: local echo, etc. The comprehensive program is impressively lightweight. and the simple user interface makes using Tera Term relatively easy.
Both the old releases and the latest updates are available to download and install. The developers update the software on a relatively consistent basis. You can visit their home page in your website browser to view their most recent software update, privacy policy, copyright terms, etc.
I have an issue regarding the terminal. I am unable to type or send commands through the terminal. I use Tera Term primarily. CCS's terminal was used as well. I couldn't type there either. This is very strange because this is an intermittent issue. I am able to go long periods without an issue. However, there are times where the issue occurs.
I usually write Labview programs for measurementreadings of voltage, current etc. but now my boss wants me to use RS232 also. Since Tera Term is a terminal and is used alot, I thought I could use it with ActiveX, but I think it's like you said, smercurio_fc, that there is no ActiveX server.
Teraterm Macro is such a lifesaver in that it can easily interface with your development boards that need: (1) RS-232C, (2) FTP, (3) TFTP or (4) SSH connections. The plain-vanilla 'serial' VI's are just that - serial port only and those need additional code to work reliably. If you need a good serial port VI try Prabhakant Patil's Hyper Terminal for LV 2009 and newer. You will find an ZIP or VIPM package from LAVA (lava.org). I have used his versions countless of times and is 10x more reliable than provided in LV examples.
You will indeed use the System-Exec.VI to call Teraterm Macro since *sigh* no one has written a wrapper for the DLLs (as you mentioned they are built for .Net framework. I have talked with the current developers and they are willing to give anyone the pass to extend Teraterm for LabVIEW so C++ devs out there with good LabVIEW knowledge should re-build the DLLs as static libraries that can be called from within LabVIEW. For now, this is the only way and it is a kludge - but it works - just not in a way you expect.
Teraterm Macro will be spawned (opened) like it would when called from the command line. Its std input & output are not tied to your VI. You can merely pass arguments to the system-exec node. This is the reasons why we need someone to recompile the Teraterm Macro DLL as a static library (anyone?) so we can build a wrapper VI around the functions. Then its std inputs and outputs can be tied to LabVIEW's controls and indicators - hence, it becomes LV native.
How do you that with the serial terminal VIs? Teraterm Macro simplifies this and still makes the interface appear as though you are connected from the serial port. In this instance, Teraterm Macro is a god-send as I know of no other excellent and 'FREE' product that can match it.
I am using Arduino IDE 2.1.1 on a Windows 11 laptop computer. I am trying to use Tera Term as a datalogger to record the data from my Arduino Serial Monitor. This is the first time that I have ever used Tera Term. I have downloaded Tera Term from -term.en.lo4d.com/windows. I started my Arduino sketch and opened its Serial Monitor. I configured Tera Term by going to "Set Up" and then to "Serial Port..." where I chose the "port" to be COM3 (since it is COM3 to which my Arduino is connected through its USB connection), and then I chose "Speed" to be 115200 (same as my Arduino baud rate), "Data" to be 8 bit, "Parity" to be none, "Stop bits" to be 1 bit, and "Flow control" to be none (which all match my Arduino). When I then click on "New open", I get the following message: "Tera Term: Error. Cannot open COM3. Access denied". As far as I can tell, I am doing all of this in the way that is described in the tutorials that I found on the internet. I would greatly appreciate any advice that anyone could offer. Thank you for your time.
I am trying to write something using printf with STM32-nucleo-h743zi board, windows 10. I can run programs that make a led turn on, and make connections via uart and all the things, but when i open tera term or Putty, i can not see any word in there.. I link my nucleo with other stm32 chip to do other stuff and it works via uart, but nothing about writing in Tera term or Putty.
Well, you don't see anything via Putty or Teraterm because you parameterised USART3 correctly (asynch, 115200 Bits/s, etc) but accidentally stumbled over the pin multiplexing. In the STM32H743, PB11/PB10 is unfortunately selected as the default for USART3 RX/TX, but in the NUCLEO-H743ZI (MB1364) PD9/PD8 are connected to T_VCP_RX/_TX via SB12/SB19. So the USART3 permanently writes the data to the TX channel - but you have checked on a different TV channel...
I have thrown your three lines of code into an otherwise empty project for a NUCLEO-F767ZI as a test - it works, both with Teraterm and other terminal programs if you have selected the correct port (STMicreoelectronics STLink Virtual COM Port):
