Protocol Definition - AB DF-1 Half Duplex Connector Screen Options RTS ON DelayX10ms Enter a number from 0 to 255 (0 to 2.55 seconds) to delay sending a message after turning on Request To Send (RTS). Commonly used with modem communication to allow additional time for the modems to synchronize. RTS OFF DelayX10ms Enter a number from 0 to 255 (0 to 2.55 seconds) to keep RTS on after a message has been sent. Commonly used to keep a radio on for a short period of time at the end of a message. Handshake Option If Full Handshake is selected the Omnii-Comm will assert RTS and wait for CTS before sending a message. RTS will be turned off after the message has been sent. If Constant Carrier is selected the Omnii-Comm will assert RTS when it sends its first message and leave it asserted. It will wait for CTS before sending. If Ignore CTS is selected, RTS will be asserted before sending a message and removed at the end of the message. The CTS input will be ignored. If No Handshake is selected, RTS will be asserted when the Omnii-Comm sends its first message. RTS will not be turned off at the end of the message. The CTS input will be ignored. If Activity Monitor is selected, the Omnii-Comm will check the DCD input before sending a message. If DCD is ON, the Omnii-Comm will delay sending the message. Retry Count The number of times a message will be retried before an error is reported Max ENQs if Master DF-1 Half-Duplex response messages are returned when the Master sends and ENQ message. If the Slave does not return a response the Master can optionally send another ENQ message. This field limits the number of ENQ messages that will be sent. Option Bit Parameters Master/Slave Check this box if the port is to be used as a DF-1 Half Duplex Master. Uncheck it for DF-1 Half Duplex
