When timeout starts
Q: I'm trying to figure out is when the timeout timer in SerRead/SerReadTimeout starts.
A by FPC developer Christo Crause: FPC uses the OS provided functionality to interact with the serial port. On Windows the timeout seems to start when the read request is made - Link. On POSIX (at least Linux) it depends on the specific set of flags specified , scroll down to the discussion on canonical/noncanonical mode for the details - Link.
