The Com Port Message value acts like an If node. The incoming data can be compared and depending on the true or false result a dedicated ASCII or Byte packet can be sent to the local COM Port. Set up the COM connection in the Connection Manager.

This node can be found under Nodes > Output > Connections > Com Port

Node control

With Widget Designer version 6, all nodes support so called node commands. Node commands access functions (i.e methods) from a node and / or set a parameter (i.e. property).

Enter "node", followed by the according ID and a dot and a list will pop up showing all available commands for the node. For instance, Node1.TintColor.SetRGB(125,0,255), colors the node in purple.
In addition, the node properties with a parameter ID (the small superscript number) can be edited via the command Node1.SetParam(ID,new Value) or WDNodeSetParam(NodeID,ParamID,Value).
