FullDuplexSerial Question

FullDuplexSerial has a several control character constants that I have never used. I normally limit myself to the CR and CLREOL constants.

Is there any documentation on what all of these constants do?

Thanks!

    If open the parallax serial terminal, and push the "prefs" button, then choose the "function" tab you will see all control characters listed.

    You can download the parallax serial terminal program here

    FullDuplexSerial alone has no control characters, as far a I know. But the application may implement a protocoll. The driver alone receives and sends single bytes, buffered into a ring buffer

    Thanks for the replies.

    I am under Linux, using BST. The screen shot helps a lot.

    Keep in mind that the control character definitions used by the Parallax Serial Terminal are not widely used. There are many very different definitions. Look in the Wikipedia under "VT52" and "VT100" for some examples (Google "Wiki VT52" or "Wiki VT100"). "ECMA-48" is the formal standard based on the VT100 terminal (Ecma-048).
