serial.flowcontrol
Attribute Flow control for the RS-232 port.
Default “none”
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage flow = serial.flowcontrol -- Reads flow control.
serial.flowcontrol = flow -- Writes flow control.
Set flow to one of the following values:
"none" or serial.FLOW_NONE Selects no flow control.
"hardware" or serial.FLOW_HARDWARE Selects hardware flow control.
Remarks • A new flow control setting takes effect when the command to change it is processed.
• The user should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to
communicate with the instrument again. It is recommended that the flow control be set from one
of the other command interfaces or from the front panel.
• The flow control value is stored in nonvolatile memory. The reset function has no effect on flow
control.
Details See RS-232 interface operation in Section 15.
Also see serial.baud, serial.databits, serial.parity
Example Sets flow control to none:
serial.flowcontrol = serial.FLOW_NONE
serial.parity
Attribute Parity for the RS-232 port.
Default “none”
TSP-Link
accessibility
This attribute can be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage parity = serial.parity -- Reads parity.

Set parity to one of the following values:
"none" or serial.PARITY_NONE Selects no parity.
"even" or serial.PARITY_EVEN Selects even parity.
"odd" or serial.PARITY_ODD Selects odd parity.

• The user should allow ample time for the command to be processed before attempting to
communicate with the instrument again. It is recommended that the parity be set from one of the
other command interfaces or from the front panel.
• The parity setting is stored in nonvolatile memory. The reset function has no effect on parity.
Details See RS-232 interface operation in Section 15.
