to Terminate Read Requests Early: Tutorial</title><shortdesc>This tutorial explains how to terminate a read request. topic. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>

<context><p>This tutorial assumes a knowledge of the <xref href="GUID-934AEB9C-77EA-5F50-BB84-2446DDD432C8.dita">How

to transfer data:  Tutorial</xref> topic.</p><p>An application that must respond

quickly can set termination charactes  that are expected in the data. The

read requests complete if any termination characters appear in the data.</p><p>If

an application needs to respond quickly to the content of the data that is

received, the application can set termination characters. If any termination

characters are set, the Serial Communications Server inspects the data during

a read request. If the Serial Communications Server detects a termination

character during a read request, the Serial Communicatoins Server completes

the request with the data. </p> <p>For example, an application that is reading

lines of text can set the termination character to the line end character. </p> </context>
