The software RS232SendWaitfor.exe sends a string to a serial port and waits for a response, providing a success or failure code that can be accessed from a batch file.
One of the most common uses of RS232SendWaitfor.exe is for detecting a modem on a COM port, which can be executed with this command - "AT\r" "OK\r". The accompanying example in the product documentation file further demonstrates how to query the error level to check if the process was successful or not.
This software is compatible with multiple Windows operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows NT. Additionally, it supports all types of COM ports, including USB/Serial adapters, Bluetooth/Serial adapters, and Ethernet/Serial adapters, as long as they export the COM interface.
RS232SendWaitfor.exe can act as a command/batch file and can be spawned from any application or program. Furthermore, it returns an error code that can be queried, making it possible to use it for a range of tasks such as querying for the presence of equipment, including CNC machines and lathes, sending commands to equipment, and much more. Overall, it is an excellent utility for handling serial communications.
