Description

Sets the data available expression for this serial port.
When new data arrives, this expression is evaluated, so you can call SerialPort.Read functions.
Be aware that script may be called when just a few bytes are in the read buffer. So the data message you wait for may only be available partly. In that case, please read available bytes, check if whole packet/message arrived and if not, store read data for later and wait for next evaluation.

In the expression the text $$ID$$ will be replaced when evaluated with the serial port reference, so you can pass it to other functions if needed.
