Serial Settings:Discard NUL Characters

Specifies whether to discard each data byte whose value is 0. If this property is TRUE, read operations discard NUL characters. If this property is FALSE, read operations treat NUL characters as normal data characters. For binary transfers, set this property to FALSE. The default is FALSE.
