Sealevel Systems, Inc. Releases Enhanced Windows XP Serial Driver.Business Editors/High Tech Writers LIBERTY, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002 Sealevel Systems Inc. today announced the release of its enhanced Windows XP advanced SeaCOM serial driver. The Windows XP advanced serial driver continues Sealevel's tradition of offering advanced functionality and ease of use software. SeaCOM provides support for advanced UARTs, and Auto RS-485 RTS (Request To Send) An RS-232 signal sent from the transmitting station to the receiving station requesting permission to transmit. Contrast with CTS. 1. (operating system) RTS - run-time system. 2. control. Take full advantage of 16550, and 16850 advanced UARTs. The advanced UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) The electronic circuit that makes up the serial port. Also known as "universal serial asynchronous receiver transmitter" (USART), it converts parallel bytes from the CPU into serial bits for transmission, and vice tab allows detailed control of UART features not available in the standard Windows COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. : driver. Auto RS-485 RTS control is also included for users needing RTS 2-wire RS-485 control. Install a multiport serial I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output adapter and assign all ports to a single IRQ. SeaCOM retains the same straightforward API (Application Programmer Interface) as the standard Windows COM: driver, allowing developers to concentrate on the details of the application as opposed to low-level driver development. Application development is supported by popular development packages such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi. In addition to the advanced serial driver, users will find the Port Manager utility very useful for changing COM numbers and achieving non-standard data rates. An advanced testing application, WinSSD, is also included. WinSSD provides a port information tab allowing access to port settings as well as showing any errors that may occur during testing. There is a loop-back test to be used with the loop-back connector provided with all Sealevel serial products. A Bit Rate Error Test, (BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) An analysis of network transmission efficiency that computes the percentage of bits received in error from the total number sent. ), for verifying COM: port performance. BERT can be used in a loopback or point-to-point test configuration. BERT tracks bit errors and sync losses while displaying transmit and receive frame counts, the number of bytes verified, and driver error statistics. The Terminal application supports asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. binary and text file transfers. WinSSD also shows modem control line status for easy monitoring of control lines. Sealevel Systems, founded in 1986, provides communications, I/O, and connectivity solutions for multiple platforms including USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , cPCI Bus, PCI Bus, ISA Bus, PC Card (PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. ), and PC/104. Their product line includes multi-port RS-232, RS-422/485, high-speed Sync/Async, and Digital/Relay I/O. Sealevel also provides related software, free technical support and customer service. Sealevel Systems is known for its ability to customize products to meet customers' unique application needs.
