The main 631_WinTest screen gives you easy control over the LCD contents, contrast setting, backlight settings and the COM port and baud rate selection.

The separate "modeless" debugger window allows you to see all packet traffic between the host and the 631, and also allows you to experiment with any command. You can scroll back to see the packet history, selectively mask packet traffic and select decimal or hexadecimal display.

Every command available in the CFA-631 firmware can be selected from the drop-down menu.

There is a fan dialog box to monitor and control the fans.

The temperature sensors may be monitored by a separate temperature dialog box.

You can enable or disable key reporting, and query the keys by polling in the key dialog.

The very flexible GPIO pins may be configured through the GPIO dialog box.

631_WinTest will optionally log the temperature and fan reports from the 631 into a "CSV" file. The file can be opened in a spreadsheet and graphed, as this example graph created in Excel.
