MsComm Control in Citect

captain_is · Oct 11, 2010

Does anyone know how to use the MSComm control with citect to send values over the serial port?

I did something like this in Cicode:

FUNCTION
test()
_OBJECTSetProperty(ObjectByName("AN37"),"PortOpen", 1);

_OBJECTSetProperty(ObjectByName("AN37"),"Output", 0x52);
END

And i associated this function with a buton, but i see nothing happens.. i don't use ComWrite function because i need to send hex values not ascii..
Any ideea for my problem..

Thanks in advance!

Sorry i didnt see this before.
You can send hex values over ComWrite(). Just use StrSetChar() to build up your databuffer that you pass into ComWrite().

eg
STRING senddata;
StrSetChar(senddata,0,15);

places x0FH into the 1st byte on the Senddata STRING buffer.
