Just recently I wrote a program that uses the serial port to talk to a
proprietary device that
depends upon RTS/CTS handshaking. I used the emulator on my PC, directed
toward a
COM port, to debug the program and it worked just fine. At one point, while
eliminating
a bug possibility, I tried turning the handshaking off. Sure enough, all
communication stopped.
Must work... (It also worked fine when I actually sent it to the device.)
NOTE: To get it to work you may need to make calls to the API as follows in
your AppStart
or similar program location:
Err err;
SerSettingsType sst;
err = SerGetSettings( gSerialRefNum, &sst );
if(err !=0)
{
ErrNonFatalDisplayIf(err !=0, "Error getting serial settings");
SerClose( gSerialRefNum );
return err;
}
// Turn on CTS handshaking
sst.flags |= serSettingsFlagCTSAutoM;
err = SerSetSettings( gSerialRefNum, &sst );
if(err !=0)
{
ErrNonFatalDisplayIf(err !=0, "Error enabling CTS handshake");
SerClose( gSerialRefNum );
return err;
}
Hope this helps,
