My microcontroller application has no serial input buffer. How can I introduce an additional delay between the characters when sending a sequence?

Docklight Scripting offers two ways to control the transmit data timing:

1) Use the DL_OnSend() event procedure for additional processing on every Send Sequence before it is actually transmitted. The sample script below splits the Send Sequence into individual characters and transmits them using a user-defined pause between the characters.
(The sample can be used with the evaluation version of Docklight Scripting.)

2) Use a so-called “function character” to introduce an additional delay at certain character positions of a Send Sequence.
