Operator Reference
write_serial (Operator)
write_serial — Write to a serial connection.
Signature
write_serial( : : SerialHandle, Data : )
Description
write_serial writes the characters given in Data to
the serial device given by SerialHandle. The data to be
written is passed as a tuple of integers. This allows to write NUL
characters, which would otherwise be interpreted as the end of a
string. write_serial always waits until all data has been
transmitted, i.e., a timeout for writing cannot be set.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
Parameters
SerialHandle (input_control) serial → (handle)
Serial interface handle.
Data (input_control) integer(-array) → (integer)
Characters to write (as tuple of integers).
Result
If the parameters are correct and the write to the device was
successful, the operator write_serial returns the value 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
.
Otherwise an exception is raised.
