11 LynxTerm is a free downloadable utility, it makes it easy to quickly test all functionality of the SSC-32 Servo Controller.
12
13 __**This program is legacy and is currently not supported.**__
14
15 **To install:** Just download, unzip, and run the setup (lynx ssc 32 terminal.msi)

21 **Version: **v1.11
22 **Size: **4.29MB(((
23 **Change Log:**
24
25 Same as v1.10, except:
26
27 * Issue Corrected:
28 ** Firmware V2 PO/QP bug patched within Lynxterm (QP returns 255 instead of 0 at startup if PO activated and value > 0)
29 ** Old PO bug patch removed from H2 Seq, no more problem using PO registers with SSC-32 V2
30 * Improvement:
31 ** COM port communication code now fully protected from exceptions (will avoid some very rare program crash).
32 * Main form:
33 ** Pulse trackbar now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.
34 * Macro:
35 ** Bigger buttons.
36 ** Support "$Pause x" instruction, with 0 < x < 65536 ms, insert a pause between instructions
37 ** Support "$Macro x" instruction, x from 0 to 14, to call another macro (infinite loop not allowed)
38 * H2 Sequencer:
39 ** "Link XL/XR" checkbox added to move XL and XR together
40 ** Auto read Offsets from the SSC-32 V2 registers if detected, else it will use value from saved file.
41 ** Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.
42 * Registers:
43 ** New message asking to read new data from registers if the write button was pressed in the H2 Seq form.
44 ** "Read" and "Write" buttons disables all objects in the form while performing.
45 ** "Read" and "Write" buttons performs now firstly a SSC-32 V2 recognition as the ones in H2 Seq form.
46 ** Pulse and Offset trackbars now sends commands with a "S1000" speed limitation.

51 **Change Log:**
52
53 Same as v1.09, except:
54
55 * Issue Corrected:
56 ** "All = 1500" button no longer resets pulse offsets.
57 * Registers:
58 ** "Read" button improved. Now pressing "Read" tests to see if EEPROM is initialized; if not, it performs a "RDFLT" command (like pressing the "Default" button). See SSC-32 manual for more about registers and RDFLT command.

65 Same as v1.08, except:
66
67 * H2 Sequencer:
68 ** Offset Registers support added for SSC-32 v2 (Atmega 168).
69 ** Offset increments by 1 instead of 5.
70 ** All trackbars are now autofocused.

86 Same as v1.06, except:
87
88 * COM port component rolled back from 3.1 to 3.0 (an effort to fix a known Vista bug with Bluetooth dongle issues).
89 * Terminal panel autofocus system removed.

92 **Version:** v1.06
93 **Size: **4.27MB(((
94 **Change Log:**
95
96 * Firmware update process now recognizes new SSC-32 v3 (based on Atmega 168), and firmware version is checked before updating to ensure the correct firmware version is used.
97 * Improvement:
98 ** LynxTerm's full installshield no longer includes the "Params.ini" file (Com port parameters), which avoids overwriting the settings from a previous installation. If this file is missing, the program will rebuild it automatically with default values. Entering the Firmware form now detects the SSC-32's Firmware version again instead of using the one stored upon connection, in order to show up to date information.
