RS232 Data Viewer

Post by acestu »

Hi,

I have a 4d systems intelligent display which I have programmed with Visi Genie. I want to hook it up to a pic and see what rs232 data it sends when I push buttons etc, I have started to put a chart together but on the rs232 module there is Timeout byte that I am not sure about, if somebody can give me some pointers I would be grateful....

Thanks in advance

Hello,

The timeout byte is how long to wait for valid data to be received.

0 = don't wait at all
255 = wait forever

The RS232 properties allows you to configure the timeout delays as iterations or as milliseconds.

A value of 255 will be returned if a timeout is detected and you have the return type set to legacy in the component properties.
