Value Notes
Port.BlockWaitTimeout

Block Wait Timeout (specified in milliseconds). Maximum time
allowed for a device to confirm it received a frame from the host.
This property should normally be kept at its default value. This value
should only be changed if a device is compatible with other values.

Default is 250 ms (0 is not allowed).

Port.CharacterWaitTime
out

Character Wait Timeout (specified in milliseconds). Maximum time
allowed between characters when receiving a frame from a device.
This property should normally be kept at its default value. This value
should only be changed if a device is compatible with other values.

Default is 50 ms (0 is not allowed).

Port.BaudRate

Serial port baud rate. Valid values are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800,
9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600 and 115200. The default
value is 9600. Note that baud sync only is intended to work on baud
rates 9600 – 115200. Devices normally support only a subset of
these values. See the devices technical reference manual to
determine which values are supported.

Port.Parity

Serial port data parity. This property should normally be kept at its
default value. This value should only be changed if a device is
compatible with other values.

N None

E Even

(Default)

O Odd

S Space

M Mark

Devices normally support only a subset of these values. See the
devices technical reference manual to determine which values are
supported.

Port.StopBits

Number of stop bits. This property should normally be kept at its
default value. This value should only be changed if a device is
compatible with other values.

1

1 stop bit

(Default)

2

2 stop bits

Devices normally support only a subset of these values. See the
devices technical reference manual to determine which values are
supported.

Port.BaudSync

Specifies whether the driver should submit a synchronization signal
to the device or not. This property should normally be kept at its
default value. This value should only be changed if a device is
compatible with other values.

0

FALSE – do not synchronize

1

TRUE – synchronize w/device (Default)

Devices normally support only a subset of these values. See the
devices technical reference manual to determine which values are
supported.
