Description

UART Module

1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6

Select UART/ USART module to receive the Rx data from

Transfer mode

Blocking| Non-Blocking

Blocking: The block will wait until all bytes in a packet transmit before goto next process.

Non-Block: After writing transmit packet data, the block will not wait until transfer finish. The packet transmitting will handled by DMA module.

Packet mode

Binary| Ascii| String Buffer

Note: This configuration is "Binary"

Binary: This mode is transmit the binary packet.

Ascii: This block will generate a ascii buffer packet using sprintf, input data to port is parameter to sprintf corresponding to format specifier.

String Buffer: The block transmit data from String Buffer.

Header

(Specify the Header pattern of packet to transmit)

Example: If a packet contains 2 bytes of header, [0x7E 0x7E]

Writing header bytes to specify the start of packet.

Number of data port, type DOUBLE

(Number of data type double in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 8bytes in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type SINGLE

(Number of data type single in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 4bytes in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type INT8

(Number of data type int8 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 1byte in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type UINT8

(Number of data type uint8 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 1byte in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type INT16

(Number of data type int16 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 2bytes in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type UINT16

(Number of data type uint16 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 2bytes in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type INT32

(Number of data type int32 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 4bytes in transmit packet.

Number of data port, type UINT32

(Number of data type uint32 in transmitting packet)

1 data port of this data type will extracted to 4bytes in transmit packet.

Terminator

(Specify the terminator pattern of packet to transmit)

Example: If a packet contains 2 bytes of terminator, [0x03 0x03]

Use terminator bytes to specify end of packet.

Format

Ascii format pattern for sscanf

Example: "Value=%d"

Scanf format specifier, start with %. Below is supported by block.

%u, %i, %d, %o, %x : sscanf output will be type of uint32

%e, %g, %f : sscanf output will be type of single

%s : sscanf output will be type of string. Note: output buffer of %s will be limit to 127 charactor maximum, so recommended to use %127s instead of %s.

%c : sscanf output will return int8

Terminator

LF| CR| CRLF

(Specify the terminator pattern of packet to receive)

Terminator in ascii mode is used for specify the end of packet.

Buffer

Select String Buffer name to transmit

Note: The buffer name will available for selection when drop the volatile data storage block with configure type as string.
