| Key | Value Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PortName | string | COM1 | The port for communications, including but not limited to all available COM ports. |
| BaudRate | integer | 9600 | The serial baud rate. This must be greater than 0. |
| DataBits | integer | 8 | The standard length of data bits per byte. This must be from 5 to 8. |
| Parity | string | None | The parity-checking protocol. This must be None (no parity check occurs), Odd (sets the parity bit so that the count of bits set is an odd number), Even (sets the parity bit so that the count of bits set is an even number), Mark (leaves the parity bit set to 1), or Space (leaves the parity bit set to 0). |
| StopBits | string | One | The standard number of stop bits per byte. This must be None, One, Two, or OnePointFive. |
| Handshake | string | None | The handshaking protocol for serial port transmission of data. This must be None (no control), XOnXOff (XON/XOFF software control protocol), RequestToSend (Request-to-Send (RTS) hardware flow control), or RequestToSendXOnXOff (both the Request-to-Send (RTS) hardware control and the XON/XOFF software controls). |
| DtrEnable | boolean | false | Whether to enable the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal during serial communication. |
| RtsEnable | boolean | false | Whether the Request to Send (RTS) signal is enabled during serial communication. |
