A PIC for instance does not have a FIFO for its standard serial port
module. You get a byte in a register and if you are not fast enough
before the next byte is ready things might go wrong. Of course writing
the PIC formware in such a way that it can always deal with the
maximum input rate (for ins
If the microcontroller doesn't have a stand-alone async serial port,
it's necessary to bit-bang data in and out. When doing that there's
no inherent buffering - the microcontroller has to be programmed to
sample (and usually oversample) the incoming data stream to
reconstruct the bits into a byte,
I tried the examples for rs232 communication, it works fine.
but my equipment is slow and needs delay between each character.
i didnt find any input to Visa write or other control which enables me
to do this.
can someone tell me how to do this?
again: to make a delay (inter digit pause) between ea
If there is no receive buffer for the Serial controller, i might
happen. But I thought there is a recieve buffer for every Rs232
controller , but who knows.
I've come across equipment where a certain command needed delays
between characters in order to be recognised, because its
microcontroller was too busy doing something else... Admittedly this
was a product of the company I worked for at the time and was somewhat
funky, but many commercial instrumen
Normally there should not be the need to have a delay between the
characters. Are you sure you configured your baudrate correct?
It's quite easy. You split the string you want to send into an array
of characters, and then using a for-loop write each character one at a
time, followed by a small wait (whatever your instrument requires).
