Send Break
Send a break lasting 0.25 seconds. A “break” is when the TX line is held to a logical 0 for longer than one frame time.
Some devices and/or kernel drivers do not support breaks. In this case Serial will emulate a break by switching to the lowest supported baud rate and sending a NULL character.
Send Long Break
Sends a break lasting 3.5 seconds with the DTR line deasserted.
Send String
Send a text or hexadecimal string to the device.

Pause Log
Temporarily suspend logging.
Show in Finder
Reveal the log file in the Finder.
