TReX User Manual v15.30 Firmware
SERIAL LINK Menu
These settings allow the point to point serial transmission to be optimised. By default for a
point to point serial link these items should not need changing.
TX TIMEOUT
This is the period of serial port inactivity in 10mS steps that the TReX will wait before
transmitting. In this case, placing a small delay between characters will result in poor
transmission efficiency.
TX CHAR
This configures a special character that can be used to mark the end of a serial message. This
could be configured to be a carriage return for example (value to use is 13 for a carriage
return). When any carriage return character is seen, then an immediate transmission would be
forced. The TX TIMEOUT item takes priority. The value of this configuration item is the
decimal value of the ASCII character. Please refer to a standard ASCII chart for decimal
values for ASCII characters (1-127).
