Docklight Applications and Examples

A collection of Docklight examples, demos, videos, and Application Notes. They show how to use Docklight with various serial communication standards and application protocols, including RS232, RS485, TCP, UDP, HID, CRC checksums, byte stuffing, automation examples, and data acquisition / DAQ for specific devices and sensors.

• Application Notes

Please download and install the latest release of Docklight or Docklight Scripting before opening the examples below. Please extract .zip files to a folder on your computer first, then open the project file in Docklight.

ModemDiagnostics.ptp	This can be used to perform a modem / AT command test. This can be also used with cellular devices via Bluetooth that install a modem COM port on your PC.
PingPong.ptp	A simple example for how to define and use Receive Sequences and automatically respond to incoming data.
ModbusRtuCrc.zip	A well-documented example for using Docklight to simulate a basic Modbus RTU master and evaluate the Modbus slave responses. (Extract the .zip contents to a folder on your computer first, then open the .ptp file with Docklight.)

Please extract .zip files to a folder on your computer first, then open the project file in Docklight Scripting.
