OutputEmptyAction

Specify the M-file action function to execute when the output buffer is empty

Description

You configure OutputEmptyAction to execute an M-file action function when an output-empty event occurs. An output-empty event is generated when the last byte is sent from the output buffer to the device.

Note    An output-empty event can be generated only for asynchronous write operations.

If the RecordStatus property value is on, and an output-empty event occurs, the record file records this information:

• The event type as OutputEmpty
• The time the event occurred using the format day-month-year hour:minute:second:millisecond

Refer to Creating and Executing Action Functions to learn how to create an action function.
