RS232 write.

[John]

Hi,

Is there any way of introducing an inter character delay between bytes
when transmitting?

If you write 1 byte at a time, you can put whatever delay you want.

ComWrtByte(port, byte1)
Delay(1);
ComWrtByte(port, byte2)
Delay(1);

Is that what you meant by your question?

If you disable the output queueing (set output queue size negative with OpenComConfig) and write only a single byte, it should be emitted with very little delay as it will be written directly to the UART (serial port). You could then delay using Delay() or Sleep() and repeat the operation.
