The following tables list the members exposed by ISerialSession.
Public Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BaudRate | The baud rate of the interface. |
| BytesAvailable | The number of bytes available in the global receive buffer. |
| ClearToSendState | The current state of the Clear To Send (CTS) input signal. |
| DataBits | The number of data bits contained in each frame (5, 6, 7, or 8). |
| DataCarrierDetectState | The current state of the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) input signal. |
| DataSetReadyState | The current state of the Data Set Ready (DSR) input signal. |
| DataTerminalReadyState | The state of the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) output signal. |
| EventQueueCapacity | The capacity of the event queue - the maximum number of pending events. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| FlowControl | The flow control mechanism(s) used by this serial connection. |
| FormattedIO | A reference to the formatted I/O interface. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| HardwareInterfaceName | Human readable text that describes the hardware interface. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| HardwareInterfaceNumber | The board number of the hardware interface. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| HardwareInterfaceType | Specifies the hardware interface type (GPIB, ASRL, etc.). (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| IOProtocol | The protocol type for I/O communication with the physical resource. In some cases you may not be able to change the protocol, so reading this property value may not return the same value that was set. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| Parity | The parity used with every frame transmitted and received. |
| RawIO | A reference to the raw I/O interface. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| ReadTermination | The method used to terminate read operations. |
| ReplacementCharacter | The character used to replace incoming characters that arrive with errors (such as parity errors). |
| RequestToSendState | The current state of the Request To Send (RTS) output signal. |
| ResourceClass | The class of resource for this session (INSTR, INTFC, etc.). (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceImplementationVersion | The version of this VISA.NET implementation. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceLockState | The current lock state of the resource for this session. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceManufacturerId | The IVI identification number of the software vendor of this VISA.NET implementation. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceManufacturerName | The name of the software vendor that corresponds to the ResourceManufacturerId property. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceName | The VISA resource name of the currently open resource. This name is the canonical version of the resource name and therefore may vary from the resource descriptor used to open/initialize the resource. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ResourceSpecificationVersion | The version of the VISA.NET specification that describes the functionality provided by this session. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| RingIndicatorState | The current state of the Ring Indicator (RI) input signal. |
| SendEndEnabled | Enables/disables sending the END signal on the last byte of a write. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| StopBits | The number of stop bits used to indicate the end of a frame. |
| SynchronizeCallbacks | Specifies whether callbacks must be performed in a specific synchronization context. If false, the implementation is allowed to execute callbacks in any context. The default value is true. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| TerminationCharacter | The ASCII character used to end reading. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| TerminationCharacterEnabled | If true, reads end when a termination character is received. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| TimeoutMilliseconds | The I/O timeout in milliseconds for I/O communication on this resource session. If the timeout is VisaConstants.ImmediateTimeout (0), operations will never wait for the device to respond. If the timeout is VisaConstants.InfiniteTimeout (-1), I/O communication will not timeout. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| WriteTermination | The method used to terminate write operations. |
| XOffCharacter | Specifies the value of the XOFF character used for XON/XOFF flow control (both directions). |
| XOnCharacter | Specifies the value of the XON character used for XON/XOFF flow control (both directions). |
Public Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AssertTrigger | Asserts a software or hardware trigger dependent on the interface type. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| Clear | Performs an IEEE 488.1-style clear of the device and clears the input and output buffer (both raw and formatted I/O buffers). It also may terminate pending operations on the device. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| DisableEvent | Disables a client from receiving events of type(s) specified by the eventType argument. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| DiscardEvents | Discard all pending events of type(s) specified by the eventType argument. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| Dispose | (Inherited from System.IDisposable) |
| EnableEvent | Enables a client to receive events of the type specified by the eventType argument using a WaitOnEvent method. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| Flush | Flushes the read and write buffers associated with serial interfaces. |
| LockResource | Locks the resource for this session with an exclusive lock, with an infinite timeout. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| ReadStatusByte | Reads the status from the device. For 488.2 instruments, this is the 488.2 status byte. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IMessageBasedSession) |
| SetBufferSize | Sets the size of the read and/or write buffer for serial communication. |
| UnlockResource | Unlock the resource. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
| WaitOnEvent | Wait for events of type(s) specified by the eventType argument. (Inherited from Ivi.Visa.IVisaSession) |
