DSRHolding

Determines the state of the Data Set Ready (DSR) line. Typically, the Data Set Ready signal is sent by a modem to its attached computer to indicate that it is ready to operate. This property is not available at design time and is read-only at run time.

Syntax

object.DSRHolding

The DSRHolding property returns the values described in the following table.

Value Description
True Data Set Ready line high
False Data Set Ready line low

Remarks

When the Data Set Ready line is high (DSRHolding = True) and has timed out, the Comm control sets the CommEvent property to comEventDSRTO (Data Set Ready Timeout) and invokes the OnComm event.

This property is useful when writing a Data Set Ready/Data Terminal Ready handshaking routine for a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) machine.
