Terminal Options Dialog Box

This dialog box allows you to modify how certain features of the Terminal Window of MediaMatrix works.  The Terminal provides many capabilities to the advanced MediaMatrix user.  By selecting "Show Terminal" from the Window menu, you may access the Terminal.  No flight arrival times or departures will show, but it is possible to wind up in a place you never planned on being in.  Be sure you want to take this trip before you start!  You can also create large headaches for yourself by using the Terminal, therefore extreme caution is recommended whenever entering the Terminal window.  The Terminal window provides many in depth analysis reports of what is happening behind the scenes in MediaMatrix.  It can provide diagnostic information, usage and event reports, and a more detailed look at your system requirements than can be found in the compile report.  For advanced users, it allows them to see what algorithms are being processed by which DSP chips, and thus allow them to hand optimize their designs to extract maximum utilization and performance.

Display Options

When checked, this option automatically wraps the text on any report generated in the Terminal window.

Time Stamp

When checked, this option will display the actual time and date that an operation or failure occurred while MediaMatrix is running.  This can be handy when examining Terminal window reports for trouble shooting purposes.

Font

This allows you to change the default screen font MediaMatrix uses in all it's displays.

Size

This allows you to change the default screen font size used in the MediaMatrix display.

File Logging

This allows you to write the results of a Terminal Window report to a file, thus saving it for later analysis.  These report files are called log files.  The box below displays the default filename, "terminal.log", which can be changed if desired so as not to overwrite multiple reports.

Buffer

This allows you to change how many lines of characters in the terminal window are kept in the report buffer memory, before it is cleared. The button to the right allows you to clear the buffer.
