It is possible to control the time in which the RTS signal is delayed when using hardware handshaking for a serial link. To enable and use these functions, lines must be added to the DS500.INI (DS300.INI, DS400.INI) file and the RTSxDelay parameters added: – To pull up the .INI file for editing, see DirectSOFT FAQ0204. – To edit the RTSxDelay parameters in the .INI file, see DirectSOFT FAQ0008. Example: RTSOnDelay=5 RTSOffDelay=2 By default, these settings are 1 ms. In the above example the “RTS on delay” is set to 5 ms (i.e. turn RTS ON, wait 5 ms, then start sending), and the “RTS off delay” is set to 2 ms (i.e. send, wait for last character to be out of Xmit buffer, wait 2 ms, then turn RTS OFF).
