Serial Communication |
Use the [P] parameters to configure this Driver's communication in Serial mode, according to the next table.
P1 |
Defines the port used for Serial RS-232 communication. Possible values for this parameter are 1: COM1 (default), 2: COM2, 3: COM3, 4: COM4, or n: COMn |
P2 |
Defines the transmission rate, in bits per second. Possible values for this parameter are 1: 110, 2: 300, 3: 600, 4: 1200, 5: 2400, 6: 4800, 7: 9600 (default), 8: 19200, 9: 38400, 10: 57600, or 11: 115200 |
P3 |
Defines the size of characters, parity, and stop bits, according to the next table. To configure this parameter, users must sum all size values of characters, parity, and stop bits. For example, to configure a character with 8 (eight) bits, odd parity, and 1 (one) stop bit, the value of this parameter must be equal to 811 (800 + 10 + 1) |
P4 |
Not used, leave it in 0 (zero). Please check the next note for more information |
Starting with version 2.0 of this Driver, the P4 parameter is no longer used. Therefore, the time-out value must be defined on the Setup tab of this Driver's properties window. |
