ser_send Send Arbitrary Data to RS-232 Port
Description
This parameter is used to broadcast arbitrary commands to equipment
attached to the RS-232 port. If the ser_control_mode parameter is set to broad-
cast for the RS-232 port, then the data in the string will be sent to the RS-232
port. If it is set to command then setting this parameter has no effect.
Special characters may be included in the string by escaping them. Since the
string format already uses a backslash to escape double quote characters, a
double backslash must be used to escape the special characters for this param-
eter. The following escape sequences are supported.
• \\ -- a single backslash character
• \\n -- new line
• \\r -- carriage return
• \\xNN -- byte value in hexadecimal (must contain exactly two digits)
Examples
set ser_flow 1 hw val ser_flow 1 hw Sets the serial port flow control on device 1 (the first
device) to 'hw'.
set ser_flow 1 none val ser_flow 1 none Disables the serial port flow control on device 1 (the first
device) by setting the flow control to 'none'.
