Send_Commands for RS-232/422/485 Mode
B9MOFF
Sets the port’s com-
munication parame-
ters.
Sets the parameters for stop and data bits according to the software settings on the RS-
232 port (default).
Syntax:
’B9MOFF’
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,’B9MOFF’
Sets the RS-232 port settings to match the port’s configuration settings.
B9MON
Overrides the com-
munication settings
on the RS-232 port.
Overrides settings to 9 data bits and 1 stop bit, and use the port’s active baud rate set-
tings.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,’B9MON’
Resets the RS-232 port’s communication parameters to 9 data bits, 1 stop bit, and
locks-in the baud rate set with the OpenAxcess software program.
CHARD
Sets the delay time
between transmitted
characters.
Syntax:
’CHARD-<0-255>’
Variables:
<0 - 255> = time in 100 microsecond increments
Example:
SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,’CHARD-100’
Sets 10 millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
