UART pane

For UART serial ports, ensure that you connect the wires to the serial port and then configure the port. The system automatically detects and displays the ports. For more information on configuring UART serial ports, see the following table.

Table 1. UART pane in the Serial Ports window

Interface element	Description
Name field	Enter a unique name for the port.
Use list	From the Use list, select a purpose for the port.
Port list	The operating system automatically selects a port from the Port list.
Profile/Protocol list	Displays a list of configured serial profiles that you can select.
	To create a new serial profile for a port, from the list select New. The Serial Profiles window opens. For more information on how to create a serial profile, see Creating a serial profile.
Baud Rate list	The option you select from the Baud Rate list must match the connecting device. For more information, see the devices manufacturer’s manual.
Data Bits list	The option you select from the Data Bits list must match the connecting device. For more information, see the devices manufacturer’s manual.
Stop Bits list	The option you select from the Stop Bits list must match the connecting device. For more information, see the devices manufacturer User Manual.
Parity list	Displays a list of connection parameters for UART serial ports.
	The option you select from the Parity list must match the connecting device. For more information, see the devices manufacturer’s manual.
Flow Control list	The option you select from the Flow Control list must match the connecting device. For more information, see the devices manufacturer’s manual.
Max Line Length field	Specifies the maximum number of characters that the port can receive before it assumes it is at the End of a Line (EOL). The default number of characters is 80.
Line Ending field	Specifies what characters or string of characters identifies the EOL.
	In exacqVision systems, the default line ending is Carriage Return Line Feed (CR LF) for Windows and LF for Linux. \x0D represents CR and \x0A represents LF. If this field is left blank, the system uses the OS default line ending.
Timeout field	Specifies the number of seconds the port waits after receiving data before sending the data to the serial profile for processes.
	The default value is zero. For troubleshooting, enter 1 in the Timeout field.
Status field	Displays the status of the port connection and troubleshooting information.
