Q: I seem to be losing data when using serial communications. Is there any way to prevent this?
Operating system overhead can sometimes result in lost data when using high-speed serial communications. If you are transmitting large or continuous blocks of data at rates of 19200 baud or higher, consider using hardware handshaking (CTS/RTS or DTR/DSR). Note that the Graphics Client serial ports have pseudo-hardware CTS/RTS handshaking as detailed in the Graphics Client User's Manual.
