It seems that in v5.3.2 this should be:
g_session.m_breakCondition

Documentation in general needs some serious improvements, that's true Working on that.

In the meantime, we try our best to provide developer-level support and assistance -- here or via the support email.

Hi Vladimir,
Thank you, that worked well.

I feel like I should have been able to search for that in the IONinja documentation. Keywords "session" and "break" both don't yield relevant information for me.

Thanks,
Stuart

Yes, it's possible; you can control all parameters of a serial port (including the break condition) from your script via the "dispatch" object g_session:

void main() {
	connect();

	// configure the port
	g_session.m_baudRate = 38400;
	g_session.m_dataBits = 8;
	// ...

	for (;;) {
		g_session.m_break = !g_session.m_break; // toggle break condition
		sys.sleep(1000);
	}
}

Note: there's a typo in the serial dispatch script in the latest official release ioninja-5.3.1 (will be fixed in the very next service release). In the meantime, for the script above to work, please open to scripts/plugins/Serial/SerialDispatch.jnc and replace:

SerialDispatchCode.GetBreak -> SerialDispatchCode.GetBreakCondition
and
SerialDispatchCode.SetBreak -> SerialDispatchCode.SetBreakCondition

Let me know if this works for you.
