| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| value | An boolean expression specifying whether the Request To Send (RTS) line is enabled, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | Enables the Request To Send line. |
| False | (Default) Disables the Request To Send line. |
Remarks
When RTSEnable is set to True, the Request To Send line is set to high (on) when the port is opened, and low (off) when the port is closed.
The Request To Send line is used in RTS/CTS hardware handshaking. The RTSEnable property allows you to manually poll the Request To Send line if you need to determine its state.
For more information on handshaking protocols, see the Handshaking property.
