SETUP SERIAL STRING MODE
This menu lets the user select the serial ports´ mode of operation. The possible modes
depend on the selected output string. If a time string is selected it can be sent
automatically "Per Second", "Per Minute" or only "On Request" (sending an ASCII
"
? " to the clock). If the capture string is selected it can be sent automatically when a
trigger event occurs ("String Auto") or only "On Request" (sending an ASCII " ? " to
the clock). If capture message "On Request" is selected it is the user´s responsibility to
read out the capture buffer by sending an ASCII "
? " to COMx or by the binary
protocol via COM0 in order to avoid a buffer-overrun and the loss of new trigger
events.
