Serial ports for use with the user-level ser_get() and ser_put() built-in functions are also selected on the interfaces screen. The device name, baud rate and serial line modes are selected for up to four serial devices. The number of the device is used as the first argument to the ser_put() and ser_get() functions. Available tty modes are either raw or >cooked, with cooked mode also having noflow, igncr (a no-op on non-System V systems) and evenp or oddp options.

The <>TYPE field allows serial devices connected through special software servers used at ESRF or with EPICS to be selected. For normal serial devices, the field should contain the characters <> . See the Reference Manual for a description of the spec functions that access the serial ports.
