- I am researching the current applications for the "break"
- (continuous spacing) condition in start/stop (async) communications.
- Specifically, I am trying to determine the importance of supporting
- break (and preserving the length of the break) in various protocols
- that carry async data across different environments.
-
- Do you use break? What for? How important is it to you? Do you
- know how long a break needs to be in your application for it to be
- recognized? Are there any alternatives to using break, such that if
- breaks were intercepted or not transferred, you could still make
- efficient use of the application?
-
- If you would like to respond, please do so by mail directly to
- tnixon@hayes.com. If anyone is interested in a summary of the
- responses, please let me know by mail. Thanks very much in advance!
