Parameter

Description

 

 

Tx FIFO Limit

Sets the overall size of the Transmit FIFO buffer.You use this

 

when you want to restrict the size of the buffer in order to control

 

the data flow. This is useful when your application requires you

 

to send small amounts of data but needs acknowledgement

 

that the data has been sent.

 

For example, if your application is designed to receive 4 bytes

 

at a time, a larger value of say 16 would time out.

 

Permitted values for an UltraPort card are 1 to 64.

Tx FIFO Trigger Level

Sets the level at which the com port Transmit FIFO buffer is

 

filled with data each time a request for more data is made.

 

For example, if set to 16 bytes you get 16 bytes at a time when

 

driver requests data.

 

Permitted values for an UltraPort card are 8, 16, 32 and 56.
