2.2.5 Port[x].DataBits
5, 6, 7 or 8
This parameter sets the number of data bits for each word used by the protocol.
All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of data
bits.
2.2.6 Port[x].StopBits
1 or 2
Stop bits signal the end of a character in the data stream. For most applications,
use one stop bit. For slower devices that require more time to re-synchronize,
use two stop bits.
All devices communicating through this port must use the same number of stop
bits.
2.2.7 Port[x].RTSOn
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after Ready To Send
(RTS) is asserted before data will be transmitted.
2.2.8 Port[x].RTSOff
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This parameter sets the number of milliseconds to delay after the last byte of
data is sent before the RTS modem signal will be set low.
2.2.9 Port[x].Handshaking
Handshaking is a negotiation process between devices that establishes a data
connection. Select the handshaking type that best matches the needs of the
devices connected to the port.
Value
Description
0
No hardware or software handshaking
1
RTS/CTS hardware handshaking
2
DTR/DSR hardware handshaking
3
XON/XOFF software handshaking
2.2.10 Port[x].RTermCnt
0 to 12 characters
This parameter specifies the number of termination characters that define the
end of a received message. Use this parameter if you set the PORT[X].TYPE
Port[x].Type (page 52) value to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 or 15.
