• Message Hand Shake: The RTS (Request To Send) line from the host controller is
checked when the device is ready to send measurement data. If the RTS is true, it sends
the complete message data without interruption even if RTS goes false in the middle of
transmission. If RTS is false, it skips sending the data completely and continues with the
next measurement.
• Character Hand shake: The device checks the RTS input before sending each character
and sends characters only while RTS is true. It always completes sending the data
before transferring the latest reading to the output buffer.
• No RTS handshaking is available with Multi-point Operation Class.
