4.11 Terminators (Terminated Protocol Only)
If you select Terminated in the Protocol setting, you are able to configure up to six
terminators in the Serial Port Settings sub-menu, as shown below.
The Ether232Plus continues to capture data from the serial port into the receive buffer
until any one of six specific terminators is identified. Once this character is marked,
the Ether232Plus continues to capture a configurable number of characters (tail bytes),
then terminates the frame and transmits it to the host.
Terminators must be specified in their ASCII decimal form. For example, Carriage
Return is entered as 13. The most common terminators are listed in Table 4.6 .
N
OTE
: To use zero (null) as a terminator, you must set it as Terminator #1. Any zeroes
after the first terminator are ignored.
To configure or change the terminating characters:
1 Choose
Serial Port
from the Device Settings menu.
