Fc9-type-16-icon.png Channel
UART Channel selector Software channels are bit banged using generic I/O pins but are not as reliable as hardware channels. Hardware channels use the selected peripheral on-board the target microcontroller. 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png TX
Pin to be used for Transmit data 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Use RX
Selects if the Receive pin is used by the component. Yes: The RX pin is active and used to receive data for the UART. No: The RX pin is disabled and free to be used as general I/O. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Baud Options
Baud rate option selector

Fc9-type-15-icon.png Component Label Scale
The label scale can be change if the amout of text is too wide for the display  
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Text Colour
Colour of the font characters drawn on the display 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Text Background
 
Fc9-type-1-icon.png Display Background
 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not. Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace. ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Data Source
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices Nothing - Simulation data is ignored COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port Injector - Routes the communication data via a data injector component on the Panel.
