I want to use Delphi 5 with Async Pro 3 to talk to a remote piece of equipment that has my PIC in it. The data link is a radio-modem (UHF) that needs to be keyed on for 250ms or so before sending the data. Does anyone know how to set Async Pro to raise RTS before transmission of the data? Using RS485 mode won't work as there is no real delay from raising RTS & sending the data out in that mode. I could raise RTS myself & wait to send the data using a timer component but then there is no reliable way to know when the data has finished being sent. (or is there?) Thanks in advance... ___________________________________________ David Duffy Audio Visual Devices P/L U8, 9-11 Trade St, Cleveland 4163 Australia Ph: +61 7 38210362 Fax: +61 7 38210281 New Web: www.audiovisualdevices.com.au New email: avd@audiovisualdevices.com.au ___________________________________________ -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
