Serial Event

The Serial event specifies the action to perform when the device receives input from the serial port.

Use this section to configure communication via the serial port:

  • Port: select the serial port to configure. Most standard serial devices are recognized on port 0 (on model HO523 it will be on port 1).
  • Baud rate: set the baud rate for communication.
  • Data bits: set the number of data bits.
  • Parity: set parity (none, even, odd).
  • Stop bits: select the number of stop bits.
  • Protocol: choose whether the serial data should be formatted as Binary or ASCII.
  • Send EOL: select the end-of-line character when sending data.
  • Receive EOL: select the end-of-line character expected when receiving data.
  • Invert signals: enable this option to invert TX/RX signal levels.

Note: Configure these parameters correctly to ensure effective communication with external devices. If you don’t know the correct values, consult the documentation of the connected BrightSign device.
