What should i see on RS232 for CR

Post by IAB48 »

Hi
When i send a CR (13) I only see an asterisk on the RS232 component. If i send text such as Hello I see that OK.

I know CR is not a printable character so I'd suspect the asterisk might be flowcodes interpretation of the sent CR.

Would this be correct?

Cheers

Hi Ian

Thats right, for all unprintable ASCII characters we have simply used the asterisk to flag the fact that a data byte has been sent or recieved.
