5.6.2 Communication Properties
ComPortNo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The communications port to use for
communication to STM-2XM.
Baud . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The baud rate. Valid baud rates are 9600,
38400, or 115200 baud.
Protocol. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The protocol to use (1 - Sycon or 0 - SMDP).
NOTE: The value of 0 is used to select
SMDP and the value of 1 is used to
select Sycon protocol to interface to
an open serial channel connection.
DoPacketStamp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Set true to use SMDP-II protocol.
NOTE: This should always be true.
TimeoutMS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sets the number of milliseconds to wait for
the instrument to respond before the control
displays a timeout error during
DoTransaction(). The valid range is 150 to
20000 milliseconds.
LastTimeTransSec . . . . . . . . . . . . . The amount of time the last DoTransaction()
call took to complete, in floating point (real)
seconds. Typical values are in the range of
0.002 to 0.014 seconds.
NOTE: Some behaviors take longer to
execute.
5.6.3 Other Properties
Numinstances. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The number of instances of the control or
number of users on the communication
server.
Build . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The build number of the control (unique
version identifier).
These properties are read only and return the same value across all instances.
