PComm Installation
To install PComm, run \Setup.exe from the diskette enclosed in the package. Please note that the PComm
diagnostic and monitor utilities are for MOXA boards only; these two utilities will not work with other
manufacturer’s serial boards.
PComm Programming Library
The serial communication library assists you in developing serial communications programs for any
COM port that complies with Microsoft Win32 API. It facilitates the implementation of multi-process
and multi-thread serial communication programs and hence remarkably reduces development time.
This serial communication library provides a complete function library and sample programs for Visual
C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi. To view detailed function descriptions and sample programs, click on [Start]
" [Program] " [PComm Lite] " [PComm Lib Help], [PComm Porting Notes] or [PComm Programming
Guide], or refer to the sample programs in the PComm directory.
Utilities
In this section, we give brief descriptions of each utility. For more information about these utilities, see
the on-line help from the software diskette.
Diagnostic (for MOXA boards only)
A convenient diagnostic program, ONLY for MOXA boards and ports, provides internal and external
testing of IRQ, TxD/RxD, UART, CTS/RTS, DTR/DSR, DTR/DCD, etc. It allows the user to check the
function of both software and hardware.
