Chapter 8. USART Asynchronous Communications
8.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the USART Asynchronous Communications mode. USART
asynchronous data and commands can be entered using a Basic Communications win-
dow or by creating script commands.
It is assumed that the user is familiar with the USART asynchronous protocol. For more
information see:
