I think I have line feed problems too. Connected via serial to a Roboteq controller I send some commands. The controller replies but in the main terminal screen there are no line-feeds. The replies are wrapped-up in one line

The replies are displayed correctly on the clipboard viewer.

See attached screenshots

Can I setup the main terminal screen to get there line feeds also ?

Hello,

You may try changing what the enter key sends - under options change it to CR+LF and see if that fixes your issue.

Thks for your reply, changing the enter key options doesn't solve the issue.

It has to do with the commands received and how they are interpreted in the main terminal screen. I guess that changing the key options only affects the send cmds.

It looks like your robotic device is simply sending a CR (carriage return) at the end of each line instead of a CR LF combo. VT100 requires both - the carriage return moves the cursor back to the start of the line, and the line feed (LF) advances the cursor to the next line.

You are correct that the enter key option simply changes what is sent when the enter key is pressed - some devices will echo this back to the user (which would have fixed your issue)

We will be adding a new advanced option in the next revision of GetConsole that allows the terminal code to insert dummy CR (or LF) for devices that don't send them

That's great support, thank you !

Thank you for adding the Advanced Setting to add dummy LF after CR in version 1.120

It works perfect and solved the linefeed problem
