Hardware Pin Events – dialog box
In this dialog you configure which changes on the serial port handshake signals that should
generate events.
The signals that are monitored are CTS, DSR, RI, and DCD. A string can be sent when the signal
goes high or when it goes low or for both types of change.
For each type of change and signal, a certain string is generated:
Signal and Change
CTS High
CTS Low
DSR High
DSR Low
RI High
RI Low
DCD High
DCD Low
You can use the string to trigger a data editing format or use a string replacement to specify the
output you want when the change happens.
Example
Let's say you want WLinq to send the text "CTS went high" when the signal CTS goes high. Click on
the Hardware Pin Events button on the Communication tab and check the CTS High box. Click on
OK.
Now select the Data Editing tab and then on the Replacements button. In the box Search for, enter
"[CTS_HIGH]" (do not include the quotes) and in the box Replace with, enter "CTS went high".
