Creating Custom Serial Port Messages
6–6
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 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.
