Examples and Tutorials

Now press the

Send

button for either of the two Send Sequences.

Communication is started and the Send Sequence is transmitted. It will of course be
instantly received on the COM port's RX line.

Docklight will detect the incoming data as being one of the defined

Receive Sequences

It will then perform the action predefined for this event, which is sending out another
sequence. As a result, Docklight will send out alternating Send Sequences - "Ping" and
"Pong".

Use the

Stop communication

button to end the demo.

The Docklight communication display should look similar to this:

Further Information

This demo project can also be run in three alternative configurations:

Run two Docklight applications on the same PC using different COM ports. The two
COM ports are connected using a

simple null modem cable

Instead of two RS232 COM ports and a null modem cable you can use a

virtual null

modem

Use two PCs and run Docklight on each PC. Connect the two PCs using a simple
null modem cable.

MODBUS RTU With CRC checksum - Sample Project:
ModbusRtuCrc.ptp

The Docklight project file

ModbusRtuCrc.ptp

demonstrates how to automatically

calculate the CRC value required to send a valid

MODBUS

RTU frame.

The project file uses the

communication settings

listed below, according to the

MODBUS implementation class "Basic".
