Re: Serial Port Control

[Dan Phelan]

Ben,

Thanks for the clarification.

Page 1531 of the PALM Programmer's API 5.0 (Serial Manager) has a section on
the control flags.  I do not know if this applies to all platforms.
/*************************************************************
* Setting Flag Bit control
*************************************************************/
UInt32 flags = srmSettingsFlagBitsPerChar8       |
                        //srmSettingsFlagBitsParityOnM    |
                        srmSettingsFlagBitsParityNone   |
                        srmSettingsFlagStopBits1              |
                        srmSettingsFlagRTSAutoM            |
                        srmSettingsFlagCTSAutoM;

err= SrmOpen(port, baudrate, &refSerial);  / Open the serial port
//handle open error
paramSize = sizeof(flags);
err = SrmControl(refSerial, srmCtlSetFlags, &flags, &paramSize);
/*************************************************************/

Thanks,
Dan
