__NOTOC__[[File:G-Code Terminal.png|right|framed|<center>The '''G-Code Terminal''' window, shown here after establishing a connection to a Rostock MAX V2.</center>]]The '''G-Code Terminal''' is a console which can be used to directly issue [http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code G-Code commands] to a connected printer.

It is accessed by clicking the [[File:Show Terminal.png]] icon in the '''Options''' menu under '''Hardware'''. == Filter Output == If checked, this function filters the text of the Readout Display of any automatically updated temperature output. Lines beginning with the following are omitted from display:  *<-wait*<-ok*->M105*<-T Note: The <code>M105</code> command and any response will be filtered even if the command is entered manually. To see this, uncheck '''TerminalFilter Output''' . == Auto Uppercase == If checked, this function automatically capitalizes any text entered in the Input Field before it is sent to the printer.  Typically, printers only accept uppercase G-Code, so this can be accessed useful if the user does not wish to type in caps or by selecting using the SHOW CONSOLE iconshift key. This feature enables users  Note: Text still appears as lowercase in the Input Field; the capitalization occurs after the user sends the command but before it is sent to communicate with their the printer . == Readout Display == The main part of the G-Code Terminal window is the large area in the middle where the input and output to and from the printer can be seen. This area scrolls down automatically as new text appears at the bottom, and previous text can be accessed by manually through scrolling with the use scroll bar on the right side. In the example to the right, the '''Readout Display''' shows several lines of communication between MatterControl and the Rostock MAX V2 printer upon connection. === -> === The '''->''' symbol at the beginning of a line indicates that the line is input from MatterControl to the printer. === <- === The '''<-''' symbol at the beginning of a line indicates that the line is output from the printer. == Input Field == A text input field in which the user enters G-Codecommands to be sent to the printer. == Send == This button sends any text in the Input Field to the printer. == Clear == This button clears the Readout Display of any text. == Export... == This button opens the operating system's file save window so the user can save a text file of the entire contents of the Readout Display. This function can be useful for troubleshooting, and is commonly requested by MatterControl tech support. == Close == This button closes the window.
