Configuring Port Monitors
Setting Advanced Options
Use the options on this tab to specify the string to use when
querying the port and the expected response.
Send String – Specifies the query to be sent to the port.
By default, a linefeed character (\n or \0x0a) is appended to the
string you specify. If you want to use an alternate control
character, simply append the character(s) you prefer. If you do
not want any control character appended, add the null character
(\0x00) to the end of the string. If you add any control character,
the linefeed character will not be added by default and you will
have to add it manually. For example, ―hello\r\n‖ would be
―hello\0x0d\0x0a‖.
To include a pause of 500 ms, add ―\p‖ to the send string.
