What is

Archiver

I am still working on controlling my digital camera with a BS2. The
specs says:
"Break signal, holding the RxD line of the serial port low for more
than 200 msecs, causes the camera to reset the port."

Can someone explain what the RxD line is?

thanks

To send a break, just hold your transmit line (the camera's receive
line) in the opposite state for 200ms. Something like:

TOGGLE RS232TX
PAUSE 200
TOGGLE RS232TX
SEROUT RS232TX,...
