Symptoms:

When you use serial communications on a SNAP PAC hardware controller for anything other than I/O, you may receive occasional timeout (-39) errors. This issue affects only the use of serial ports on SNAP PAC controllers; it does not affect TCP communication handles to serial modules on the rack.

Workaround:

Use the Send Communication Handle Command to send a "set.to:" command to set the timeout to an appropriate value.
