In these examples: <DEV> = device.

RS-232/422/485 Send_String Escape Sequences

specified duration to a	Variable:
specific device.
	time = 1 - 255. Measured in 100 microsecond increments.
	Example:
	SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,17,10"
	Sends a break character of 1 millisecond to the RS232_1 device.
27,18,0	Used in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.

	Example:
	SEND_STRING RS232_1,"27,18,0"
	Sets the RS232_1 device's ninth data bit to 0 on all character transmissions.
27,18,1	Used in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
Set the ninth data bit to 1 for	Syntax:
all subsequent characters to	SEND_STRING <DEV>,"27,18,1"
be transmitted.
