Indigo provides
a data conversion utility to examine data bytes from the terminal session
in other byte formats than ASCII. These alternative byte formats include
hexadecimal, decimal, binary, octal, and other variations included a
user defined custom format.
The Data Converter is a tool windows that be be docked,
pinned, or positioned anywhere on the screen. The first button in the
Data Converter Tool Window in used to enable or disabled automatic data
conversion. If this option is enabled, then any text that is selected
in the current session window will be automatically converted on the
fly in this tool window.
If this option is not enabled, the Data Converter will
only work in manual mode. In manual mode, you can simply select some
ASCII text and drag it into the Data Converter Tool Window. The Data
Converter will convert and ASCII data dropped into it in to the specified
format.
To choose a different data representation, simply click
on the second button in the Data Converter Tool Window. This will provide
a drop down list of conversion options.
The Grouping option in the data format menu allows the
representation of multiple bytes grouped into Words (2 bytes) or DWords
(4 bytes). This grouping option is available to the base formats such
as HEX, DEC, OCTAL, and BINARY.
