	Connections
	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.
	TX
Pin to be used for Transmit data
	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.
	Baud Options
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
	Simulation
	Component Label
	Component Label Scale
The label scale can be change if the amout of text is too wide for the display
	Text Colour
Colour of the font characters drawn on the display
	Text Background
	Display Background
	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.
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
	Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console.
	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.
