Set config embedded serial port

System variable names and variable values are case sensitive. Each variable name must start with a letter or underscore and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters length, including underscores. Setting an empty variable name clears the variable value. Ensure your terminal program is configured for UTF-8; otherwise, any special characters used in the RS global variable command will cause the RS command string to be ignored.

There is a limit of total unique system variables per system. System variables can be used in text labels across any number of channels. System variables are considered volatile data and are erased when the Pearl system reboots. Quotes are not ignored.

No flow control is used. Recording Commands. Starts recording for all channels and recorders. Takes a snapshot image of the current channel supported only if the channel is configured to use the Motion JPEG codec.

Gets the saved value of a given parameter for the specified channel or recorder. Sets the value of a given parameter for the specified channel or recorder. Global Variable Commands. Status Commands. Reports the recording status of the specified channel or recorder. Reports the recording status of each channel and recorder. Reports the elapsed recording time in seconds for the current file on the specified channel or recorder. Reports the elapsed recording time in seconds for the current file on each channel.

This is set by a special tty configuration struct. Make sure you have the right path to the device and that the device exists! This usually happens because the current user is not part of the dialout group.

Add the current user to the dialout group with:. At this point we could technically read and write to the serial port, but it will likely not work, because the default configuration settings are not designed for serial port use. So now we will set the configuration correctly. When modifying any configuration value, it is best practice to only modify the bit you are interested in, and leave all other bits of the field untouched. We need access to the termios struct in order to configure the serial port.

We will create a new termios struct, and then write the existing configuration of the serial port to it using tcgetattr , before modifying the parameters as needed and saving the settings with tcsetattr. If this bit is set, generation and detection of the parity bit is enabled.

Most serial communications do not use a parity bit, so if you are unsure, clear this bit. If this bit is set, two stop bits are used. Displays a default property page dialog box, which allows a user to select settings for the port. Sets the device friendly name for the device.
