Serial Input
Serial Input tasks receive files sent to a serial port on the computer running PReS Workflow.
All the Serial Input tasks in a PReS Workflow configuration share the same general properties,
which are configured through user options (see "Serial Input plugin preferences" on page749).
Only the properties set in the Other and Error tabs are specific to individual tasks.
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the Serial
connection.
Processing
When the job is received through the Serial connection, it is saved as a job file. No further
processing is done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.
