sio_write(port, buff, 10); /* Write 10 byte characters in "buff".
The function blocks until last
character transmitted */
sio_RTS(port, 0); /* Turn off RTS signal. The RS-485
port is ready for receiving data. */
sio_read(port, buff, 10); /* Read 10 bytes */
Solution 2
There is a dedicated RS-458 function in PComm or API-232 library. It
integrates the above functions of solution 1 regarding sending data as one.
sio_putb_x(port, buff, tick ); /* 1. Turn on RTS and ready for
transmitting data.
2. Send data.
3. Wait for tick time.
4. Turn off RTS and ready for
receiving data. */
For more information on these functions, please refer to PComm library on-line Help
file for Windows NT and Windows 95/98 or API-232.txt file for DOS, respectively.
