Serial Port Control
Serial Port
The serial port can be used to transmit and receive serial data through the device using the transport layer. The serial data can be sent through the transport layer in image data (via the SerialData Chunk Data), in control data (via the File Access Control), or in event data (via the SerialPortReceive Event).
The serial port to configure is selected using the SerialPortSelector. The physical line on which to receive serial data is set using the SerialPortSource. The physical line on which to transmit serial data is set using the LineSource in the Digital IO Control. The serial port settings for both the receive and transmit can be set using the SerialPortBaudRate, SerialPortDataBits, SerialPortStopBits¸ and SerialPortParity.
Serial data can be transmitted and received through the File Access Control. Once the serial port file is opened, data can be transmitted via Write operations and received via Read operations. Received serial data can also be obtained through the SerialPortReceive Event which will be generated when data is available or through the SerialData Chunk Data which is appended into each image payload.
The total number of characters in the serial port transmit and receive queues can be monitored using the SerialTransmitQueueMaxCharacterCount and the SerialReceiveQueueMaxCharacterCount. The current number of characters in the queues can be monitored using the SerialTransmitQueueCurrentCharacterCount and SerialReceiveQueueCurrentCharacterCount. The SerialReceiveQueueCurrentCharacterCount reports the maximum number of characters that can be obtained using the File Access Control. The receive queue can be emptied by executing the SerialReceiveQueueClear.
Serial port framing and parity errors are reported using the SerialRecieveFramingErrorCount and the SerialReceiveParityErrorCount. Overflow errors are reported within the SerialData Chunk Data, the SerialPortReceive Event, or in the FileOperationStatus after executing a Read.
