User manual

Support engineers can configure the serial option to monitor a serial port for a string pattern. As an

example;

</Serial>

The serial port settings/attributes are also set here and must match those of the device sending the

data. Note: Currently only one serial port can be monitored by the dCine, however you can send

triggers out any available serial ports.

Once the serial port is configured support engineers can define events to listen for, such as a string

pattern like “FireAlarm” coming from another device. See the Events section of this manual for

more information.

Options in the <Serial> section include;

<Enable> : The Enable option allows support engineers to Enable(Yes) or Disable(No)

the monitoring of a serial device.

<Settings> : Support engineers use this option to set which of the serial ports is to be

monitored for string patterns and to configure the attributes for that serial port. The earlier

example sets COM port 1, 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits , 1 stop bit. This configuration

should typically work when monitoring data coming from an external device.
