Component: UART SCADA (CAL) (Misc)

Author	Matrix TSL
Version	2.1
Category	Misc

UART SCADA component

CAL = Code Abstraction Layer - Allows one code base to run on a wide range of chips. A low level implementation giving direct access to the UART peripheral. Includes simulation functionality to commmunicate via a COM port or an Injector component. Also includes timestamped logging via the console and Data Recorder trace monitoring support.

Property reference

	Properties
	Component Enable
A global flag to enable or disable the UART component from producing code. Useful for generating components with multiple communications options.
	Runtime
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
	Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console.
	Auto Close
Auto close the port on Sim stop event
	Data Source
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices Nothing - Simulation data is ignored COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port Injector - Routes the communication data via a data injector component on the Panel.
	COM Port
Lists all the current available COM port hardware on your PC.
	Refresh Ports
	Baud Rate
COM port data rate in bits per second
