C# Communication

[User 14013003]

Hello,
I am a beginner in C #, I would like to know if there is a way and how to establish a conexion between a Winform interface and a measuring device in order to remotely control from a pc using a communication protocol (ModBus, RS232 etc)

Thank you

Please read the preamble at the top of the page, and use the correct forum for your question. From your question I would say that the answer will depend on the measuring device, so you need to consult the documentation.

I'm not sure what THIS makes me but I'll go ahead and empty my clipboard (code copied from here GS - one of many[^] ). What I do when I have questions like yours is use Google. Sometimes there's nothing and I get flummoxed. Other times there's something which inspires me to continue working and not just pack it in for the day and get some exercise.

using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace SerialPortExample
{
class SerialPortProgram
{
// Create the serial port with basic settings
private SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1",
9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);

\[STAThread\]
static void Main(string\[\] args)
{ 
  // Instatiate this class
  new SerialPortProgram();
}

private SerialPortProgram()
{
  Console.WriteLine("Incoming Data:");

  // Attach a method to be called when there
  // is data waiting in the port's buffer
  port.DataReceived += new 
    SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port\_DataReceived);

  // Begin communications
  port.Open();

  // Enter an application loop to keep this thread alive
  Application.Run();
}

private void port\_DataReceived(object sender,
  SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
  // Show all the incoming data in the port's buffer
  Console.WriteLine(port.ReadExisting());
}

}
}
