Method Detail

getOpenTimeout

long getOpenTimeout()

This is the waiting time that should be applied between closing and opening of the driver.

Returns:

A minimum wait time in ms.

getReadWriteTimeout

long getReadWriteTimeout()

This timeout should be applied between a write and a read operation. If you write a command to this driver and the response will require a certain time to be available on the input, return here non-null values. This time is a minimum time-out, i.e. this time will pass between any write/read operation, so only use it if there is no other mean to wait for a response.
