PComm
, a professional serial comm tool for PC, is a software package under Windows and consists of a
powerful serial communication library, useful utilities, monitor/terminal emulator, sample codes and
comprehensive on-line documents.
The serial communication library is useful for developing a system for data communication, remote access,
data acquisition and industrial control in Windows environments, which offers an easier solution than the more
complex Windows Win32 COMM API.
Installation
To install
PComm
, please run \Setup.exe in the diskette. Note that
PComm
diagnostic and monitor utilities are
for MOXA boards only. MOXA Windows device driver, as well as a MOXA board, are required. The drivers are
installed separately and detailed in the chapter “Software Installation”.
PComm Programming Library
The serial communication library is useful for development of software for serial communications with any
COM port complying with Microsoft Win32 API. It can simplify the implementation of multi-process and
multi-thread serial communication programs and greatly reduce the development time.
For complete library description and sample codes for Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, please see the
PComm
directory for more details.
Utilities
The followings are short descriptions of each utility.
Diagnostic (MOXA boards only)
A convenient diagnostic program provides internal and external testing, such as IRQ, TxD/RxD, UART,
CTS/RTS, DTR/DSR, DTR/DCD testing, etc., for MOXA boards and ports to verify correct operation of both
software and hardware.
