Hi,
I am trying to read continously values out of a Sony LY51 display with a LZ51-C RS232-C unit.
I am using the RS-232 library of CVI in order to access the unit.
It's just sending a command and recieving it's result.
Sporadically the Sony display gets a "receiving error" and blocks communication for about 2 seconds.
The manual of the sony says that the RS232-C is asynchronus and half duplex (it is not allowed to and I am wondering if this could be the reason for the problems.
This is what the manual says:
...
RS232-C output: Asynchronous, start-stop, half-duplex
....
...be sure to wait for transmission to finish bevore receiving and wait for reception to finish before transmitting... communicationm must follow half-duplex format...
..
I have already tried to use the SetCTSMode() function in order to activate hardware handshake but it didn't work out either.
Is it possible to make half-duplex communication with RS232 library?
How has it to be done?
Thanks
