COM_CTS()
Queries the Clear To Send (CTS) status
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
COM_CTS(<nComPort>) --> lCTSActive
Argument
<nComPort> Designates the port (1 to 4) for which CTS is tested.
Returns
A return of .T. indicates that CTS is active (MSR Bit 5 = 1). A return
of .F. indicates that CTS is inactive (MSR Bit 5 = 0).
Description
COM_CTS() lets you check the Clear To Send (CTS) signal within a
program. Whether CTS is used for a hardware handshake or for other
purposes, depends on the external hardware that you use.
Note
. If Delta-CTS is required, you must use COM_MSR().
Example
DO WHILE .NOT. COM_CTS(1) // Wait for CTS
* ...
ENDDO
COM_SEND(1, "Good Morning") // Transmit text
