Question

I am setting up a serial connection to a very simple embedded platform. Individual bytes are meant to be sent as commands and returned as status codes. I would like to:

• when sending commands – when I push enter to send some ascii symbol to delegate the meaning, classically associated with “Enter” – continue

• when receiving codes – I want to send strings, that end up in a newline.

Is there a symbol in the ascii table that is customary to handle theise situations or are there two separate or there is no such.

I am using RealTerm under XP.

Answer 1

Depends on the os, but typically 10 is newline, and 13 is carriage return
