VisSim Serial Receive Dialogue
|
VisSim/Serial lets you read and write standard RS232 serial bytes
from the VisSim block diagram via Serial read/write blocks.
VisSim/Serial lets you configure serial port settings including baud
rate, parity and stop bits. You can also choose whether you want to read
single characters or complete strings. You can use Serial blocks for
remote sensing, data exchange or remote control. You can easily log
data, plot, strip-chart or run a virtual plant or controller for model
based development. To read or write serial data from VisSim, you must
have an RS-232 connection, which is quite common on PCs and laptops.
Then just insert and wire Serial Read and/or Serial Write blocks into a
diagram and then click the Go button. You may transmit and receive from
any number of different IP addresses in a single diagram. The serial
Read and serial Write blocks let you read data from and write data to
serial ports.
