Capture data into a text file on the PC with the Burford
®
TERMINAL program as follows.
To begin capturing data, press Alt-F. A unique filename, based on the time and date, will
be suggested in the dialog box in the center of the screen. You may use this filename or
type in any other name permitted by DOS. If you choose your own file names, be sure to
use a unique name each time so that you do not overwrite a previous file. A message will
appear in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, which indicates that you are capturing
data. Anything that is typed or written to the screen after you begin capturing will be saved
into this file. As you are capturing a file, you can type in short notes to help in later
understanding of what was happening. When you press ENTER, the display will show
that you entered an invalid command, but your notes will be captured in the file. To stop
capturing, press Alt-F again.

select Transfers, then select Receive Text File. Enter a name for the file, being sure to
type in the .txt file extension and return to the main screen. Anything that is typed or
written to the screen after you begin receiving the text file will be captured to the file. As
you are capturing a file, you can type in short notes to help in later understanding of what
was happening. When you press ENTER, the display will show that you entered an invalid
command, but your notes will be captured in the file. To stop capturing data, select the
Stop button at the bottom of the screen.
Captured files may be reviewed or printed using any text editor, such as the DOS text
editor EDIT or the Windows text editor NOTEPAD. It is a good idea at that time to type in
a quick summary of the tests you conducted at the top of the file for later reference.
Control codes embedded in the text may cause the document to be printed with page
breaks at strange locations. You can edit these out of the document if you wish.
