RS232 P3 protocol?

Question

Here is an except from a manual for a piece of hardware I wish to develop software for. However have no idea what the P3 rs232 protocol is. Hopefully someone here can help me out.

Protocol RS232: This is used to select the protocol on the RS232 interface. There are 3 options:

Enhanced - This protocol is here only for compatibility reasons. Not all features are available via this protocol.

P3 - If you are a software developer this is the preferred protocol to use. This protocol is also used for software like ‘Racewave’.

Remote - Allows the host computer to select the protocol by using a command. Use this setting when 12 used with Orbits.

Answer 1

RS232 means, in general, "serial port". An euphemism for bi-directional data link over two wires.

P3 is probably an applicative term of the tool you are working with.
