MOXA Serial Comm Tools
For application development, MOXA provides an easy-to-use serial communication library called
PComm that runs under Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and Windows 95/98. You can use this library
to develop your own applications using Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, etc. Utilities,
such as Data Scope, Monitor, Terminal Emulator, Diagnostics, etc., are included for debugging or
monitoring the communication status, terminal emulation, or even file transfer.
Board Applications
The board is suitable for many industrial applications, including:
y Multipoint data acquisition
y Factory automation
y Critical industrial control
y Remote serial device control
