Frame: Framing error; indicates that the received character did not have a valid stop bit.
Parity: Parity error; indicates that the received data character does not match the parity selected.
Overrun: The NPort is unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeds the
NPort’s ability to handle the data.
Break: Break interrupt; indicates that the received data input was held low for longer than a full-word
transmission time. A full-word transmission time is defined as the total time to transmit the start, data, parity,
and stop bits.
