opening multiple simultaneous ports using Serial Macro Extensions plugin?

[Bill Christens-Barry]

I've been using RXTX and the Serial Macro Extensions plugin (at http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=plugin:utilities:serial_macro_extensions:start) in macros to communicate with serial devices, using syntax like:

    Ext.open(firstPort, 9600, "DATABITS_8 STOPBITS_1 PARITY_ODD");

Can I simultaneously have two ports open, a la:

    Ext.open(somePortSpecifier, 9600, "DATABITS_8 STOPBITS_1 PARITY_ODD");
    Ext.open(someOtherPortSpecifier, 9600, "DATABITS_8 STOPBITS_1 PARITY_ODD");

Do I first need to construct multiple instances, something like:

    Ext firstPort = new Ext();
    Ext secondPort = new Ext();

Thanks.

Hi Bill,
Unfortunately the serial macro extension plugin only supports one serial
port so far. I'll try and see how this could be improved.
