hexadecimal

\xhh

values

 

 

 

tab

\t

 

 

line feed

\n

 

 

backslash

Strip match string before sending: Match string before sending to strip the string from the data before it is sent to the destination.

Send after the following number of idle: Send the data after the specified number of milliseconds has passed with no additional data received on the serial port. This can be 1 to 65,535 milliseconds.

Send after the following number of bytes: Send the data after the specified number of bytes has been received on the serial port. This can be 1 to 65,535 bytes.

Close connection after the following number of idle seconds: Enable to close an idle connection. Use the Timeout field to enter the number of seconds that the connection will be idle before it is closed. This can be 1 to 65000 seconds.

Close connection when DCD goes low: When selected, the connection will be closed when the DCD (Data Carrier Detected) signal goes low.

Close connection when DSR goes low: When selected, the connection will be closed when the DSR (Data Set Ready) signal goes low.
