SerialTerminal vterm input window trouble, plz help

Hi guys, I new to Multisim and I am really enjoin this software. Therefore, this will be a very simple question for some or even most. But i really need some help to actually use it for testing the circuit.

 

I was looking for a sofware which could simulate the serial port from a PC. I found the SerialTerminal sample which comes with the software. This sample has a vterm component and the 8051 in it, and a Virtual Terminal window beside the Spreadsheet View window,where I can input values for this vterm while the simulation is running.

 

I created a circuit of my own, and added the vterm component, but i cannot get the input Virtual Terminal to show so I can actually test it. How can I get the input Virtual Terminal Window to display? I did right click already and looked everywhere in the application option. I must be missing something, please someone help.

 

Sorry guys, if this is a stupid question I am still trying to figure out how this great software works. I tried googling and everything else, but i find very few information on it, and they dont help me. I downloaded the User Manual but no luck there.

 

Thank you

The vterm is a special MCU component. To show the associated window, select MCU > VTERM T1 > Virtual Terminal. You can also select MCU > MCU Windows to show and hide all MCU windows.

Every one knows where the virtual terminal is present in the software, but when a program is written and data is loaded from the accumulator into the serial buffer, how can one know whether the serial data has been transferred or not.
