2.1.2 USART Interface

The USART interface source contains the raw values received on the USART interface. The sink sends values received back out on the USART interface. For further details on the physical part of the USART interface, see the user guide of the debugging tool to be used to sample the USART data.

Important: If the USART sink is connected to a source with a multibyte type, the byte order may be unpredictable.

The USART Configuration dialog is opened from the USART interface in the DGI Control Panel.

Table 2-3. Configuration
Field NameValuesUsage
Baud rate0-2000000Baud rate for UART interface in Asynchronous mode
Char length5, 6, 7, or 8 bitsNumber of bits in each transfer
Parity typeNone, Even, Odd, Mark, or SpaceParity type used for communication
Stop bits1, 1.5, or 2 bitsNumber of Stop bits
Synchronous modeON or OFFSelecting Synchronous or Asynchronous mode
Enable timestampingON or OFFData is timestamped through the DGI timestamp interface (yields a slower transfer rate)
