RS-232/422/485 SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.)
Command Description
B9MON Override and set the current communication settings and parameters on the RS-232 serial port to 9 data
bits with one stop bit. This command works in conjunction with the 'B9MOFF' command.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'B9MON'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'B9MON'"
Resets the RS-232 port's communication parameters to nine data bits, one stop bit, and locks-in the
baud rate.
CHARD Set the delay time between all transmitted characters to the value specified (in 100 Microsecond
increments).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARD-<time>'"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Measured in 100 microsecond increments.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CHARD-10'"
Sets a 1-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
CHARDM Set the delay time between all transmitted characters to the value specified (in 1-Millisecond
increments).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARDM-<time>'"
Variable:
time = 0 - 255. Measured in 1 millisecond increments.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CHARDM-10'"
Sets a 10-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
CLEAR
FAULT
Forces a reset back to normal status.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, "’CLEAR FAULT’"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"’CLEAR FAULT’"
CTSPSH Enable Pushes, Releases, and Status information to be reported via channel 255 using the CTS
hardware handshake input. This command turns On (enables) channel tracking of the handshaking pins.
If Clear To Send (CTS) is set high, then channel 255 is On.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTSPSH'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CTSPSH'"
Sets the RS232_1 port to detect changes on the CTS input.
CTSPSH OFF Disable Pushes, Releases, and Status information to be reported via channel 255. This command
disables tracking. Turns CTSPSH Off.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTSPSH OFF'"
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CTSPSH OFF'"
Turns off CTSPSH for the specified device.
