Instrument Control Toolbox

BreakInterruptAction

Specify the M-file action function to execute when a break-interrupt event occurs

Description

You configure BreakInterruptAction to execute an M-file action function when a break-interrupt event occurs. A break-interrupt event is generated by the serial port when the received data is in an off (space) state longer than the transmission time for one byte.

Note    A break-interrupt event can be generated at any time during the instrument control session.

If the RecordStatus property value is on, and a break-interrupt event occurs, the record file records this information:

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

To learn how to create an action function, refer to Creating and Executing Action Functions.
