This panel allows you to type in and send any type of data in blocks by selecting corresponding radio button option. Additionally, you may select from the list of previously sent data blocks (up to 10 items). If you would like to send text/binary file, please select "Terminal"->"Send ASCII File" or "Terminal"->"Send via X-modem" options from Main Menu.

"Global history" checkbox enables the history of typed commands for all opened sessions. In case this option is disabled, the history to the typed commands will be available for that session which it belongs to.

Since Advanced Serial Port Terminal sends data in packets you are limited to a single byte value which is 255. For instance you cannot send value higher than FF in hexadecimal format, 377 in octal, 255 in decimal and 11111111 in binary. This is similar to the way this issue is handled in Scientific calculator when you are operating in byte's mode.

To be able to send hexadecimal characters along with strings you should enable corresponding option in "Preferences" dialog.

"Loop this command sending every" option lets you loop the command which you have typed in "Send" panel. The time interval between command sending can be specified in the spinbox and is measured in milliseconds. In order to start looping, please, type the command in test field above, specify the interval between commands (by default, the command will be sent every second) and press "Start loop" button. Once the looping is started the caption of the button will be changed to "Stop loop". Click this button to finish command looping.
