5.6.2 Communication Properties

ComPortNo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The communications port to use for

communication to STM-2XM.

Baud . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The baud rate. Valid baud rates are 9600,

38400, or 115200 baud.

Protocol. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The protocol to use (1 - Sycon or 0 - SMDP).

NOTE: The value of 0 is used to select

SMDP and the value of 1 is used to
select Sycon protocol to interface to
an open serial channel connection.

DoPacketStamp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Set true to use SMDP-II protocol.

NOTE: This should always be true.

TimeoutMS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sets the number of milliseconds to wait for

the instrument to respond before the control
displays a timeout error during
DoTransaction(). The valid range is 150 to
20000 milliseconds.

LastTimeTransSec . . . . . . . . . . . . . The amount of time the last DoTransaction()

call took to complete, in floating point (real)
seconds. Typical values are in the range of
0.002 to 0.014 seconds.

NOTE: Some behaviors take longer to

execute.

5.6.3 Other Properties

Numinstances. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The number of instances of the control or

number of users on the communication
