Syntax

result = DL.GetCommWindowData([representation])

The GetCommWindowData method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
representation	Required. String value to define the window buffer format requested: "A" = ASCII (default), "H" = Hex, "D" = Decimal or "B" = Binary.

Remarks

Only a representation enabled in Docklight Options – Communication Window Modes can be used. By default, this is ASCII, HEX and Decimal. If required, load different options using LoadProgramOptions.

The maximum size of the GetCommWindowData buffer is 128000 characters. If more communication data is accumulating without calling GetCommWindowData, the oldest data gets deleted.
