Flow Control
This command selects the serial communication handshaking protocol to be use in
communicating with the Host computer.
iPort/AFM implements either XON/XOFF (by default) or RTS/CTS flow control
protocols. Flow control is used by the iPort/AFM to limit character flow to and from
the Host computer to avoid overflowing internal communication buffers and lost
data.
The XON/XOFF protocol inserts characters directly into the ASCII data stream.
XON (Hexadecimal 11) is used to enable the flow of data. XOFF (Hexadecimal 13)
is used to stop the flow of data.
