A device dependendant communication delay can be setup to prevent communication for a fixed time after a connection is
established. This is necessary for devices like the Korad programmable power supply which will hang up if
communication is attempted immediately after connection.
The modem lines normally available on USB to RS-232 chips are monitored and displayed and may be toggled by the user.
This is useful on Arduinos where toggling the DTR line will reset the Arduino.
The /dev/serial/by-id directory will only exist if an active serial device is connected. The files within the
directory are links to the virtual port.
The file names in the directory are derived by UDEV from USB device data such as the vendor name and product serial number
located in the USB converter chip.
