description is associated with the Code field; however, it brings some additional information about the
current status.
Serial Encapsulation Tests
Most of the serial drivers should work with every serial encapsulation mode. However, most of the drivers
were developed before the encapsulation modes had been created. The following table lists the drivers fully
tested with certain encapsulation modes; if the driver that you intend to use is not listed and you are unsure
whether it will work, please contact your distributor.

you add the driver to your project.
Note: The MAIN DRIVER SHEET is not available for all drivers.
