Creating Custom Serial Port Messages
6–6
The Define Serial Port menu consists of two items:
• Erase Port Data
• Buffer: Wait/No Wait
Erase Port Data
Picking the Erase Port Data box permanently removes all defined strings
from the selected serial port.
Note: Do not pick this box if you value any portion of your serial port
strings or parameters.
The Erase Port Data function is useful if you want to clear all the contents
for a serial port, such as if you need to entirely redefine all strings, and not
merely edit them, or if the serial port messages are no longer useful for your
application, and you want to free up the CVIM module memory for other
uses.
To use the Erase Port Data function:
• Pick the Erase Port Data box. Picking the Erase Port Data box once
displays this warning message:
• To permanently remove the port data, pick the Erase Port Data box a
second time. If you do not want to erase the port data at this point, pick a
different menu item instead of the Erase Port Data box.
Buffer: Wait / No Wait
Use the Buffer: box to select one of two options for transmission of serial
messages – Buffer: Wait and Buffer: No wait.
