Packing Interval
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated
characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing data. For
alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-
sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame boundary.
Send Characters
If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the sendchars as a 2-
byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets them independently.
If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the serial
buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this option is
set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or
timeout).
Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or an
acknowledgment needs to be sent.
