Hi,

How does one go about reading a string over modbus?

I can convert the string to 16 bit integers without a problem. How does the Modbus client know how many 16 bit integers are in the string?

Is there a default value?
 
Ok that solved it. I think my Modbus issues are resolved as of now.

Thanks for everyone who responded to my various Modbus questions!
