The Input Text control can be used to send a text string that you type in the browser to your micro device.  You type your text in the white line area at the bottom of the control. When ready to send the string, press <enter> on your keyboard, the PC will send the string to your device, and the string you just typed will be added to the logging area that is above the white input line.  The logging area scrolls upward the way a terminal does, when it becomes filled.

The Input Text control can also display strings sent from your device.  Received strings are added to logging area.

The Input Text control has the following properties:
