4 Serial Programming Tools
Moxa supports some easy but powerful serial programming libraries and
communication troubleshooting utilities under Windows NT and Windows 95/98.
You will save a lot of developing time with the MOXA Serial Programming Tools.
The following sections will detail the installation, the library and the utilities for
various platforms.
PComm, the professional serial comm tool for PC, is a software package for
Windows NT and Windows 95/98. It consists of a powerful serial communication
library for easy programming in the most popular languages, useful utilities such as
diagnostic, monitor and terminal emulator, illustrative sample programs and
comprehensive on-line documents.
The serial communication library is useful for developing a system for data
communication, remote access, data acquisition or industrial control in the
Windows NT and Windows 95/98 environment, for an easier solution compared to
the more complex Windows Win32 COMM API.
Installing PComm
To install PComm, run \Setup.exe from the diskette. Note that the PComm diagnostic
and monitor utilities are for MOXA boards only. MOXA Windows NT or Windows
95/98 device drivers, as well as MOXA boards are required. The drivers are
installed separately and detailed in the “Software Installation” chapter.
Click [
Start] and select [Programs] and the [PComm Lite] group to see a list of
utilities and documents.
