  • Page 39: Rs232 Timeout

    Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The engine asserts RTS when it has a character to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-19) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

  • Page 40: Xon/Xoff

    XON/XOFF Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the engine to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the engine, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11).
