Chapter 6

Creating Custom Serial Port Messages

6 – 7

The

Define Serial Port

menu consists of two items:

Erase Port Data

Buffer: Wait/No Wait

Erase Port Data

Picking the

Erase Port Data

box permanently removes all defined strings

from the selected serial port.

Note: Do not pick this box if you value any portion of your serial port
strings or parameters.

The

Erase Port Data

function is useful if you want to clear all the contents

for a serial port, such as if you need to entirely redefine all strings, and not
merely edit them, or if the serial port messages are no longer useful for your
application, and you want to free up the Color CVIM module memory for
other uses.

To use the

Erase Port Data

function:

Pick the

Erase Port Data

box. Picking the

Erase Port Data

box once

displays this warning message:

To permanently remove the port data, pick the

Erase Port Data

box a

second time. If you do not want to erase the port data at this point, pick a
different menu item
instead of the

Erase Port Data

box.

Buffer:

Wait / No Wait

Use the

Buffer

box to select one of two options for transmission of serial

messages –

Buffer: Wait

and

Buffer: No wait.
