Not sure if this is where I need to enter this but, My company, a Telecommunication company has 1000+ pieces of equipment that we can only backup utilizing a DOS 16 bit program. With computer changes they have decided to go to windows 10 64 bit in 2017 and I am looking for a way to still communicate with the equipment. I have tested windows 10 64 on a new laptop using a USB- Serial adapter. I installed a dos emulator and then install the dos program for backups. The program runs but it can not communicate through the adapter to the equipment. I have checked that the com port 1 shows installed for the adapter.

Any suggests will be appreciated.

Dec 08, 2015 Windows 10 for serial console logon. If this is true then I may have missed some steps.

I am having trouble finding examples of serial port communication in a win32 console application. I am currently writing code to make a PCI 1422 frame grabber from National Instruments work with an Optical filter wheel (FW102B) from ThorLabs. I have written all of the code for the frame grabber to snap images, but have not yet added the filter wheel communication in. The filter wheel uses an internal USB to RS232 adapter, so I have no options on communication. I have to send a string 'x=n' followed by a carriage return somewhere in my loop. There is no response from the wheel to listen for, so a short delay makes sure the wheel has finished moving before the next images are taken.

How do I open and communicate through a serial port in a Win32 Console application? Both the recommended win32 application examples are repeatedly recommended elsewhere. In response to the top comment: I would argue that writing a full windows app is very different from writing a simple console app.

I personally am not going to write a win32 app by hand (who would nowadays), but I would like to use serial comms in a win32 dll - therefore it would be nice to have a simple console example. Even the code-project example recommends that you start with a simple console program or learn win32 windows apps first before attempting! So I'll re-ask the question, does anyone know of a simple win32 console app example for serial communication - ideally for the noobs, one that is multi threaded and one that is not.

IMHO a good Windows serial communication app cannot be a console one, at least not purely console. This is because a good serial app should handle modern types of serial devices (USB, Bluetooth and so on) this means support for PnP device arrival and state notifications.

The PnP notification API requires a window handle. The Elder Scrolls Iv Shivering Isles Iso Download. Following projects may give a good idea of a modern serial communication programs: -- pa.
