I am trying to test a sensor circuit I'm working on. Essentially, I am using RealTerm to send commands to the microcontroller and it is returning the value read by the sensor.

When logging to a file in RealTerm, I noticed the commands being sent were showing up as well as the data being returned. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to record only the incoming data using RealTerm, and not the outgoing commands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, there is no way around using RealTerm specifically because of a company policy.

It sounds like RealTerm has local echo turned on. Apparently that setting in RealTerm is (incorrectly) called "half-duplex", and should be disabled for your purposes.

  • $\begingroup$ I played around with it a little, and Half duplex seems like it only applies to the display, but not the file being dumped to. I can't seem to find anything to turn off local echo in the file. Very strange $\endgroup$

You can use Cutecom on linux or Terminal on windows. Both of them log only incoming data.
