cHandflow: Defines the flow control value.nStopBits: Defines the number of stop bits.cParity: Parity can be defined with one of these values: (E)ven, (O)dd, (M)ark, (S)pace, or (N)one.nDataLength: Defines a packet’s data length.A default value of 110 is used if no other value is provided.

nBaudRate: Defines the serial port baud rate.In the descriptions below, “n” indicates a numeric item and “c” designates a character item.

Serial port control information is presented as a string of 4 or 5 items, separated by a dash. Using the COM Port Status window in Serial Port Tester you can query the status of lines going to and from the computer. Consult documentation regarding making measurements through a serial port for detailed information regarding each setting. This may slow down messages slightly but will cause no further harm. If you don’t know the number of stop bits, you should set it to 2. The information you need to provide includes the number of serial ports to which your device is connected, its parity, the number of data bits per byte, and the baud rate. You will be entering this data into the serial port tester software prior to its use.
