RxTimeout

Sets a receive timeout.

Available at design time and runtime. Can not be changed while the port is open.

Only available with Comm64. Not available with MSComm32

Syntax object.RxTimeout = value         object Name of the communications control.         value A numerical value in the range 0 to 32000 Measured in ms (1000 = 1 seconds)         Example object.RxTimeout = 500 '// Set the RxTimeouts to 500ms

Remarks:

If RxTimeout is 0 (zero) then all Input/Read properties/functions return immediately with the required number of chars/bytes (or less if less were waiting in the receive buffer)

If RxTimeout is greater than zero then Input/Read functions will not return until the required number of bytes have been received or when RxTimeout occurs.

If using RxTimeouts we would suggest using a very small timeout value and repeating the Input/Read function until you have the required number of bytes.
