Algorithm (Workflow)
This algorithm is designed to test a serial communication line on Apple OSX. It is part of the SG-Library and was created by Tim Lueth on March 27, 2015. The function is named SCtest and it takes an optional input parameter.
Input Parameters
- port: This parameter describes the port to be tested. If not provided, the default value is set to '/dev/tty.usbmodem00091661'.
Algorithm Steps
- The function begins by setting a default value for the port variable to '/dev/tty.usbmodem00091661'.
- It checks if there is at least one input argument (nargin>=1) and if the first argument is not empty (~isempty(varargin{1})).
- If the above condition is true, it assigns the first input argument to the port variable, overriding the default value.
- The function then creates a serial object 's' using the specified port. The serial object is configured with a baud rate of 9600 and a line terminator set to 'LF' (Line Feed).
The function does not include any switch conditions or additional logic beyond setting up the serial communication parameters.
