Applications.
The SciComm library provides basic functions to control and communicate
with multiple devices (laboratory instruments, telescopes, control systems)
using RS232c serial interfaces. Control lines can be set to signal line
status conditions. Machine to machine communication is available by
interchanging data packets between two or among many machines(PC or non-PC).
Product Highlights.
The SciComm Serial Communication Library Version 7.0 provides FORTRAN and
C/C++ serial communication support for up to twelve (12) serial ports.
SciComm input and output buffering allows simultaneous two-way
communications for asynchronous real time application development. A variety
of baud rates are supported from 110 to 256000 with flow control provided by
software XON/XOFF, or by hardware DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS signaling. Other features
include: write string with date/time stamp, read with timeout or delimiter
string, and queuing of output strings.
Routines included in the SciComm library are:
COMCLS Close serial comm port
COMCTL Set control parameters (signal lines, time stamp, timeouts)
COMDTM Get local date and time
COMFLS Flush data buffers
COMOPN Open a serial comm port (baud,parity,stop bits,char length)
COMREC Receive input data
COMSND Send output data
COMSTS Report on comm port status
COMSUS Suspend execution
The SciComm Communication Library Version 7.0 is released in two forms,
one that can be used with FORTRAN compilers and one that can be used with C/C++
compilers. Included with the SciComm is a user manual. SciComm V7.0 is
compatible with Microsoft Windows Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000, and
WinXP for the following compilers:
Fortran compilers
- SciComm for Absoft Pro FORTRAN V8.0
- SciComm for Compaq Visual FORTRAN V6.6
- SciComm for Intel Fortran V8.0
- SciComm for Lahey FORTRAN 95 Pro V5.7
- SciComm for Lahey FORTRAN 95 Express V5.7
- SciComm for Lahey FORTRAN V7.1
C/C++ compilers
- SciComm for Microsoft Visual C/C++ V6.0
