Moxa supports easy but powerful serial programming library and communication troubleshooting utilities under Windows NT, Windows 95/98, DOS and Windows 3.x. You will save a lot of developing time with the MOXA Serial Programming Tools.

The following sections will details the installation, the library and the utilities for various platforms.

Windows NT and Windows 95/98

PComm, the professional serial comm tool for PC, is a software package under Windows NT and Windows 95/98, which consists of powerful serial communication library for easy programming in most popular languages, useful utilities such as diagnostic, monitor and terminal emulator, illustrative example programs and comprehensive on-line documents.

The serial communication library is useful for developing a system for data communication, remote access, data acquisition or industrial control in the Windows NT and Windows 95/98 environment, which offers an easier solution compared with the more complex Windows Win32 COMM API.

PComm Installation

To install PComm, run \Setup.exe from the diskette. Note that the PComm diagnostic and monitor utilities are for MOXA boards only. MOXA Windows NT or Windows 95/98 device drivers, as well as MOXA boards are required. The drivers are installed separately and detailed in the “Software Installation” chapter.
