The setting of this parameter affects the timing of received data sent out the
connector. Data transmitted over the air by the radio is

average latency. Data bytes are sent out the

both be below 10 ms, but idle character gaps may be introduced into the
outgoing data flow.
If data buffering is , the radio will operate in a seamless mode. That is, data

bytes will be sent over the air as quickly as possible, but the receiver will buffer
the data until enough bytes have arrived to cover worst case gaps in
transmission. A 2 ms delay may be introduced by data buffering, but the radio
will not create any gaps in the output data stream. This mode of operation is
required for protocols such as MODBUS™ that do not allow gaps in their data
transmission.
Note that seamless mode (
transmitter's baud rate is greater than or equal to the receiver's baud rate.
Enforcement of this rule is left up to the user.

CKEY [ON/OFF]

The command enables or disables continuous keying. When
CKEY
enabled ( ), the radio is continuously keyed. The
ON
enabled when the radio is in a full-duplex master configuration.

CTS [0-255]

This command displays or sets the timer value associated with the CTS line
response. Entering the
CTS
displays the timer value in milliseconds. Entering the
parameter ranging from 0 to 255 sets the timer value in milliseconds. The timer
value function depends on the radio's operating mode (DCE or CTS Key). See
the command for more information about these operating modes.
DEVICE
When the radio is in DCE mode, the timer specifies how long to wait after the
RTS line goes high before asserting the CTS line. A timer value of zero means
that the CTS line will go high immediately following RTS.
When the radio is in CTS Key mode, the timer specifies how long to wait after
asserting the CTS before sending data out the
value of zero means that data will be sent out the data port without imposing a
keying delay. (Other delays may be present, depending on how other operating
parameters are configured.)
