Writing values to Serial Port

This is used to write strings to a COM port, a typical use is to send to the information to an external software or device.
The string to set the port is as follow:
‘PortName:Speed,Parity,Bit,Control’.

This statement is manually written without user interface.

$$Begin Example


DECL/CHAR,10,my_var

DECL/INTGR,ii

my_var=ASSIGN/'Here the value assigned!'

$$Open the COM port


DID(my_com_device)=DEVICE/COMM,'com3:9600,n,8,1'

OPEN/DID(my_com_device),DIRECT,INPUT

DO/ii,1,10,1

WRITE/DID(my_com_device),'Here the String WRITTEN directly!!'

WRITE/DID(my_com_device),my_var

ENDDO

$$Closing the Port


CLOSE/DID(my_com_device)
