BaudRate Property

Sets and returns the baud rate communications parameter.

Syntax

Visual Basic

object.BaudRate [ = value ]

Visual C++

object.GetBaudRate()

object.SetBaudRate(value)

Delphi

object.BaudRate [ := value ]

Part Description
object An object expression that evaluates to a PortController object.
value An integer representing the baud rate of the communications port.

Example

Visual Basic

'Set baud rate
myPortController.BaudRate = 9600

'Get baud rate
Dim baudRate As Integer
baudRate = myPortController.BaudRate

Visual C++

// Set baud rate
m_myPortController.SetBaudRate(9600);

// Get baud rate
long lBaudRate = m_myPortController.GetBaudRate();

Delphi

// Set baud rate
myPortController.BaudRate := 9600;

// Get baud rate
var baudRate: Integer;  // declare variable in the proper place
baudRate := myPortController.BaudRate;

Remarks

Valid baud rates are as follows:

  • 110
  • 300
  • 600
  • 1200
  • 2400
  • 4800
  • 9600 (Default)
  • 14400
  • 19200
  • 28800
  • 38400
  • 56000
  • 57600
  • 115200
  • 128000
  • 256000

Default

9600

Returns

An integer representing the baud rate of the port.

Errors

Attempting to set BaudRate to an invalid value will cause the PortController to throw an "Invalid argument" exception.
