RS 232 RTS Assert With Delay

[GTurnipseed]

Hey, everybody.  I'm trying to see if there's a way as part of a standard VI (possibly as part of the Modbus serial init vi?) to set the RTS line, wait a programmer-specified delay period, and then start sending data.  I see that I can set up the communication line to use hardware handshaking via MB Serial Init.vi, and I see that I can manually set the RTS line using property nodes, but is there a property that will let me set a "default" delay time?

Thanks,
Greg Turnipseed

Since you know already how to turn the RTS line on and off, why don't you simply introduce a delay (with the wait function for instance) between the on/off instructions ?

Where is the problem ?

Hi, CC.  I'm just looking to see if there's a more elegant way to do it, using built-in functions.  I'm guessing that such a built-in function does not exist then?

Thanks,

Good guess ! Sorry 😉
