Note LabWindows/CVI passes the input queue size and output queue size information from the OpenComConfig function to the Windows serial driver. However, the Windows serial driver might use a different number for the actual queue size. Because the driver sends the XOFF and XON characters based on the actual queue size, the driver might not transmit an XOFF or XON character when you expect. |
