YAT - Yet Another Terminal (Windows)

YAT is a user-friendly and feature-rich serial terminal. It features text as well as binary communication, predefined commands, a multiple-document user interface and lots of extras.

YAT is available to download at SourceForge.

Appearance

YAT features a multiple-document user interface (MDI) that consists of a single workspace with one or more terminals.

Each terminal can be configured according to the device it shall be communicating with. These extra features make a terminal especially easy to use:

• Text command console
• File command list
• Unlimited number of predefined commands
• Drop-down of recent commands

Each terminal has its own monitor to display outgoing and incoming data. The view can be configured as desired:

• Time stamp
• Line number
• End-of-line sequence
• Line length
• Line and bytes transmission rate
• Chronometer

Most of these features can be enabled and configured, or hidden for a cleaner and simpler user interface.
