Serial port data for Digital Panel Meter
« on: October 28, 2020, 10:42:05 PM »
Hello Sir,
I want to display the value of the vacuum gauge on the Digital Panel Meter via serial communication.
It's easy if the vacuum gauge is Modbus-RTU, but that's not the case.
Read command:"#01RD<CR>"
Interval time:500ms
Please help me!
Best regards,
Taka

What does the manufacturer suggest to use for communication with that device?

It looks like you will have to create a code to send strings as they are defined in the manual of that device.

Just Google it and there will be bunch of examples in VB Net or C# on how to do serial communication.

The data sheet is also mentioning ASCII protocol, so you can try using ModbusASCIICom driver.
