here is a sample code :
Word refSer = 0;
SerSettingsType serset;
if (SysLibFind("Serial Library", &refSer) == 0)
{
SerOpen(refSer, 0, 9600);//refSer is a reference to the serial
port, 0 is the port no, 9600 is the speed
SerGetSettings(refSer, &serset);
serset.flags = serSettingsFlagBitsPerCharM |
serSettingsFlagStopBits1 | SerSettingsFlagBitsPerChar8; // 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bits.
SerSetSettings(refSer, &serset);
SerSend10(refSer, (char *) data, StrLen(data));
SerClose(refSer);
}
you should use the SDK Reference for details. See pp.949-965 The Serial Manager
