Definition
Recognize message end by
inter-character gap
The message end occurs when the maximum configured timeout between any two
consecutive characters of a message has expired. The default value for the inter-character
gap is 12 bit times and the maximum number is 65535 bit times, up to a maximum of eight
seconds.

①
Received characters
②
Restarts the intercharacter timer
③
The intercharacter timer expires and terminates the message.
Recognize message end by
max length
The message end occurs when the configured maximum number of characters has been
received. The valid range for maximum length is 1 to 1023.
This condition can be used to prevent a message buffer overrun error. When this end
condition is combined with timeout end conditions and the timeout condition occurs, any
valid received characters are provided even if the maximum length is not reached. This
allows support for varying length protocols when only the maximum length is known.
Read message length from
message
The message itself specifies the length of the message. The message end occurs when a
message of the specified length has been received. The method for specifying and
interpreting the message length is described below.
Recognize message end
with a character
The message end occurs when a specified character is received.
Recognize message end
with a character sequence
The message end occurs when a specified character sequence is received. You can
specify a sequence of up to five characters. For each character position, you specify either
a specific hex character, or that the character is ignored in sequence matching.
Leading characters that are ignored characters are not part of the end condition. Trailing
characters that are ignored characters are part of the end condition.
