6. To configure the settings for a particular COM Port, select the row of the desired port, and
then modify the setting in the “Settings” panel, as shown below.
Tx Mode
“Hi-Performance” is the default for Tx mode. After the driver sends data to the NPort server, the
driver immediately issues a “Tx Empty” response to the program. Under “Classical mode,” the
driver will not send the “Tx Empty” response until after confirmation is received from the NPort
server’s serial port. This causes lower throughput. Classical mode is recommended if you want to
ensure that all data is sent out before further processing.
FIFO
If FIFO is disabled, the NPort server will transmit one byte each time the Tx FIFO becomes empty,
and an Rx interrupt will be generated for each incoming byte. This will result in a faster response
and lower throughput.
