Description

Changes and Fixed Issues in Version 3.5

On-Chip Flow Control
NI-Serial 3.5 adds support for on-chip flow control. Previous driver versions implemented flow control in the driver, which in some circumstances could allow data loss. All PCI, PXI, and PCI Express interfaces now utilize on-chip RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF flow control. 8430-series hardware also supports on-chip DTR/DSR flow control.

ID 139396: Windows Direct Cable Connection Previous versions of NI-Serial could cause a system hang when initiating a Windows Direct Cable Connection. This issue has been resolved for PCI, PXI, and PCI Express interfaces. Issues may still exist when using Windows Direct Cable Connection with other interface types.

Serial IOCTL Availability
NI-Serial no longer supports the following seldom-used Device I/O Control Codes:

  • IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_MODEM_CONTROL
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_MODEM_CONTROL
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_FIFO_CONTROL
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_XOFF_COUNTER
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_LSRMST_INSERT
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_STATS
  • IOCTL_SERIAL_CLEAR_STATS
