Newline conversion

Here you select the character to be output by the serial port when binary mode is activated.

This setting is independent of the application communicating via the serial port. If the port is connected to another device, you can either enter CRLF here or just CR. This is because the outband interface of these devices expects a "carriage return" for the automatic determination of data-transfer speed. However, some Unix applications interpret CRLF as a prohibited double line feed character. In these cases enter either CR or LF.
