COMM-DRV/LIB $189.95
COMM-DRV/LIB by WCSC is simply the best and fastest
serial communication library and DLLs on the market. The serial
communication libraries support Windows XP, Windows 2000,
Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, and
MS-DOS.
COMM-DRV/LIB Includes
- A set of serial communication libraries that link directly into the developer's C/C++,
QuickBasic, and Assembly Language application with full source code.
- A set of high level Hayes compatible modem and serial control and information
communication libraries that link directly into the developer's C/C++, QuickBasic, and
Assembly Language application with full source code.
- A set of state driven Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem(w/crash recovery) file transfer
communication libraries that link directly into the developer's C/C++, QuickBasic, and
Assembly Language applications with full source code.
- A set of serial communication DLLs, high level Hayes compatible modem and serial control
and information communication DLLs, and state driven Xmodem, Ymodem, & Zmodem DLLs
that may be dynamically linked to any Windows application that is capable of calling the
Windows API (e.g., Microsoft ACCESS, or Visual Basic).
- An extensive set of examples for using the COMM-DRV libraries, & DLLs. Included are
example C/C++, Visual Basic, Access, QuickBasic, Professional Basic, and other projects.
Major Features
- Support ALL compilers and tools that can call 16 bit or 32 bit DLLs.
- Built-in hardware and software handshaking for flow control (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS,
XON/XOFF).
- One API to learn. Same for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 98,
Windows 3.x, & MS-DOS.
- Any number of ports may be active at the same time.
- Adjustable communication buffers of any size.
- Remap baud rates logically. Modify baud rate divisor for non-standard baud rates.
- Supports all non-intelligent and several well known intelligent multiport
cards(Digiboard, Arnet, Boca Research, GTEK, etc.).
- Only library that really allows you to combine different multiport cards in one PC.
- Extensive statistics on every port(bytes lost, sent, received, errors, etc.).
- Asynchronously call user's C or assembly functions on any serial communication or timed
event (receive, transmit, modem, or status change interrupt event, buffer count events,
specific character reception, error events, and much more).
- Support for all memory models compatible with Microsoft and Borland C/C++ compilers, and
many other compilers.
- Automatic UART type detection; 16650, 16550 support (including FIFO).
- Nondestructive reading of data (read ahead).
- Support baud rates in excess of 115,200 baud, with the ability to use today's
high-powered communications devices.
- State-driven file transfer libraries allow Xmodem, Ymodem, and Zmodem file transfers on
multiple ports at the same time.
- Completely port re-entrant, allowing it to be time-sliced.
- Send data & modify modem signals from within user interrupt(callback) functions.
Essential in writing multidrop communication applications or applications requiring fast
response to the reception of special packets or characters.
- Supports Network INT14H modem pools, any INT14H server, or INT14H driver.
- Supports WIN32 and WIN16 applications.
- On line help.
COMM-DRV/Lib includes very easy to navigate electronic
documentation. RS232 communications functions are easy to find and are hyperlinked to
related functions. |
