10.10.1 Serial Talk Through and Comms Watch
In the P: Serial Talk Through and W: Comms Watch modes, the timeout can
be changed from the default of 40 seconds to any value ranging from 1 to 86400
seconds (86400 seconds = 1 day).
When using options P or W in a terminal session, consider the following:
• Concurrent terminal sessions are not allowed by the CR1000.
• Opening a new terminal session will close the current terminal session.
• The CR1000 will attempt to enter a terminal session when it receives non-
PakBus characters on the nine-pin RS-232 port or CS I/O port, unless the
port is first opened with the SerialOpen() command.
If the CR1000 attempts to enter a terminal session on the nine-pin RS-232 port or
CS I/O port because of an incoming non-PakBus character, and that port was not
opened using the SerialOpen() command, any currently running terminal
function, including the comms watch, will immediately stop. So, in programs that
