O hyperterminal do Windows pode gravar dados de entrada em um arquivo de log?
Sim, pode.
Can this terminal write incoming data to a file automatically?
Não, isso não será feito automaticamente. Você poderia usar um programa de macro de teclado para automatizar isso.
Also who can share such log file?
Isso depende das permissões atribuídas ao arquivo de log.
Does it have a standard data format?
Os dados são salvos como um arquivo de texto.
Para salvar dados de entrada em um arquivo de texto
Open HyperTerminal.
Connect to the remote computer using either a new connection or using an saved connection. Alternatively, you can wait for a call and have the remote computer connect to your computer.
On the Transfer menu, click "Capture Text" or, to send the text file directly to a printer, click "Capture to Printer".
In the File box, type a descriptive name for the file, and then click "Start".
Any text typed at the remote computer will now be captured in the specified file, or be sent to the printer.
To stop capturing the text to a file, on the HyperTerminal Transfer menu click "Capture Text", then click "Stop" or "Pause".
To stop capturing the text to a printer, on the HyperTerminal Transfer menu click "Capture to Printer", which will uncheck this selection.
