NXC-COM2 Send_String Escape Sequences
Command Description
27,17,<time>
Send a break character for
a specified duration to a
specific device. Syntax:
SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,17,<time>"
Variable:
time = 1 - 255. Measured in 100 microsecond increments.
Example:
SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,17,10"
Sends a break character of 1 millisecond to the RS232_1 device.
27,18,0
Clear the ninth data bit by
setting it to 0 on all
character transmissions. Used in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
Syntax:
SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,18,0"
Example:
SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,18,0"
Sets the RS232_1 device's ninth data bit to 0 on all character
transmissions.
27,18,1
Set the ninth data bit to 1
for all subsequent
characters to be
transmitted. Used in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
Syntax:
SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,18,1"
Example:
SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,18,1"
Sets the RS232_1 device's ninth data bit to 1 on all character
transmissions.
27,19,<time>
Insert a time delay before
transmitting the next
character. Syntax:
SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,19,<time>"
Variable:
time = 1 - 255. Measured in 1 millisecond increments.
Example:
SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,19,10"
Inserts a 10 millisecond delay before transmitting characters to the
RS232_1 device.
27,20,0
Set the RTS hardware
handshake's output to high
(> 3V). Syntax:
SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,20,0"
Example:
SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,20,0"
