The Serial Monitor can be used to view debug information emitted by a Multimodule which has been flashed with firmware with DEBUG_SERIAL enabled.
This can be useful when debugging complex firmware issues, or when capturing data using the Multimodule's XN297L dump feature to capture data from new transmitters so that new protocols can be added.
To use the Serial Monitor simply select the serial (COM) port that the Multimodule is connected to and click the Serial Monitor button.
When the Serial Monitor window opens it will open the serial port connection automatically. Once the window is open the serial port connection can be closed and re-opened as needed.
If a firmware upload is started while the Serial Monitor window is open the connection will be automatically closed to allow the upload to occur, then be re-opened when the upload is complete.
Content of the Serial Monitor window can be saved to a log file by clicking the Save button
