Synchronization:
Stop bits
The start bit and one or two stop bits enable the receiver to synchronize to
every transmitted character during serial data transmission.
One start bit is sent before each character. In MP_stopBits, you determine
the number of stop bits sent at the end of a character:
MP_stopBits
Number of stop bits
Available from NCK software version: 597 110-01.
Format: Selection menu
Selection: 1 stop bit
1 stop bit is appended after each transferred character.
2 stop bits
Default: 1 stop bit
Access: LEVEL2
Reaction: NOTHING
Data transfer check:
Handshaking
By handshaking, two devices control data transfer between them. A
distinction is made between software handshaking and hardware
handshaking.
You can choose either of the two procedures:
