Pro-Link also has the capability to monitor the serial port for incoming text messages. When a text message is received, Pro-Link
searches through all 64 text messages for a matching message. If one is found, the When Message Received event button
corresponding to the matching message is activated.
Pro-Link determines that a message has been received when:
•
One or more characters have been received followed by 100 ms of silence
•
One or more characters followed by a carriage return character are received
•
One or more characters followed by a line feed character are received
It is not necessary to enter the terminating carriage return or line feed character as part of the message name.
