2.5.3 Port Statistics
Figure 2-7 Port Statistics Screen
Port Statistics show current parameters of the PC‟s Primary and Secondary COM Ports.
Baud Rate
Baud Rate shows the current baud rate setting for the Primary and Secondary COM ports.
RTS
RTS shows the current state of the RTS (request to send) line. RTS is an output from the PC.
DTR
DTR shows the current state of the DTR (data terminal ready) line. DTR is an output from the PC.
CTS
CTS shows the current state of the CTS (clear to send) line. CTS is an input to the PC.
DSR
DSR shows the current state of the DSR (data set ready) line. DSR is an input to the PC.
DCD
