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.
| Field Name | Values | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Baud rate | 0-2000000 | Baud rate for UART interface in Asynchronous mode |
| Char length | 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits | Number of bits in each transfer |
| Parity type | None, Even, Odd, Mark, or Space | Parity type used for communication |
| Stop bits | 1, 1.5, or 2 bits | Number of Stop bits |
| Synchronous mode | ON or OFF | Selecting Synchronous or Asynchronous mode |
| Enable timestamping | ON or OFF | Data is timestamped through the DGI timestamp interface (yields a slower transfer rate) |
