Module serial / USB
3.5.15 Debug
 Description If the property Debug is set to the value true, the COM port is closed at the end of a
debug session in a programming environment.
 Syntax bool = object.Debug;
 Comments The ActiveX ® module is not correctly destructed at the end of the debug session in
some programming environments. The property Debug must, e. g., be set to true in
Microsoft Visual Basic
® and Microsoft Excel ® for the development of the application so
that the COM port is closed at the end of the debug session without explicitly calling the
method Close. If a debug session is terminated before the method Close is called, then
during the next debug session you will receive a LastState of 162 (DeviceInUse). If the
property Debug is true, then all COM ports for all ActiveX
® instances are closed at the
end of the debug session.
 Data type bool
 Default value false
Information!
Please ensure you only set the property Debug to true during the debug session. If one control is
destructed on the use of several instances of the ActiveX
® module, the COM port will be closed in all
other instances.
