SERIAL 9, 10, and 11

The serial ports are used to input and output serial data for entering programs, printing tests results and screen images, and sending test results to a connected controller or terminal.

Operating Considerations

The serial communications settings are defined on the I/O CONFIGURE screen.

SERIAL 9 must be used for serial printing.

The IBASIC controller sends and receives data to the serial ports using address 9 for the primary port, and 10, 11 for the other ports. For example, to enter data from the primary serial port into a program variable named SDATA, you could use the following command:

ENTER SERIAL_9;SDATA

To send data from your program out of the primary serial port, you could use the following command:

OUTPUT SERIAL_9;SDATA

SERIAL 10 can only be configured through GPIB.

SERIAL 11 is reserved for future use with special software that enables remote operation through a PC.
