RS232SendWaitfor

RS232SendWaitfor is a function provided by Willies Computer Software Co. It is used for sending data through an RS232 serial port and waiting for a specific response.

RS232SendWaitfor sends a command or data string through the RS232 serial port and then waits for a specific response from the connected device. It uses the specified timeout period to wait for the response.

RS232 is a standard communication protocol for serial communication between computers and peripheral devices. It uses a serial cable to transmit data in a sequential manner.

To use RS232SendWaitfor, you need to include the appropriate library or header file provided by Willies Computer Software Co. Then, you can call the RS232SendWaitfor function with the necessary parameters to send data and wait for a response.

RS232SendWaitfor requires the following parameters: serial port identifier, command or data string to send, expected response string, timeout period in milliseconds.

RS232SendWaitfor has a built-in timeout mechanism. If the expected response is not received within the specified timeout period, the function will return an error or a specific value indicating a timeout condition.

RS232SendWaitfor is typically used with programming languages that support serial communication and have the capability to call external functions or libraries. Examples include C/C++, Java, Python, and others.

RS232SendWaitfor can be used on various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and macOS, as long as the necessary driver or library for RS232 communication is available.

Certain limitations may apply depending on the specific implementation of RS232SendWaitfor. It is recommended to consult the documentation or contact Willies Computer Software Co. for any known limitations or compatibility issues.

RS232SendWaitfor itself does not handle hardware flow control. It primarily focuses on sending data and waiting for responses. Handling hardware flow control may require additional configuration or consideration outside the scope of RS232SendWaitfor.
