NB: Note that if the device is being used by an application (e.g. STMan), executed commands will be displayed here (i.e. Preset, Take, Rx, Tx).

Once the manual command is set, use the following buttons to test the device:

Switch - Simulates the take action. Sent commands and received replies would be displayed in the Tx and Rx boxes.

It's worth mentioning that the entire device activity (i.e. Tx, Rx, etc) is recorded within the STMan logs available under the Logs directory folder for the specific device, for instance: %LocalAppData%Etere\Log\user.001\stman.eterestman.000.michaelw7.MATROX MTX LOGO - LAYER 1.log

NB: The "Logo/Crawl Test Tool" is available from the Resources module and other modules, including Etere STMan.
