Serial ports on PC-MCAT for Motion Coordinator Channels
The PC-MCAT API brings channels 1
and 2 out into the API, but does not map them to anything. The attached little program is an example which will do that for you.
It is a 7z folder encrypted with password abc123.
A USB to RS232 converter will be needed and this is plugged in to one of the PC-MCAT USB ports. With the attached program running, the channels 1 and 2 can be used in the Motion Cooridnator software. For example PRINT #1, KEY and GET #1 or CHANNEL_READ / CHANNEL_WRITE.
