Hi.

As people have said, don't use hardware handshaking if you don't have to. It's harder to use hardware handshaking. But, it prevents buffer overruns. As people know, Windows is not a real-time OS. Hardware handshaking is much faster than using a higher level software implementation. In some cases, you can not tolerate a buffer overrun, and you want to use the fastest way you can. Serial communication is semi-slow to begin with.

You'll need to make sure that the correct signals are connected in the cables. Most serial cables do not include the handshake signals! Also, you need to know the wiring of which pins on ConnectorA go to which pins on ConnectorB.

I strongly recommend that you get and use an RS232 breakout box! It'll save you a lot of time. Also, you should have at least a light logic probe that can handle the RS232 voltage levels that you're using. You can use a DVM (Voltmeter). There are a number of low-cost USB "logic analyzers" that can interpret RS232 signals. The handshaking signals would often be displayed separately. I'm not sure if the MSOs show/decode the RS232 handshake signals. I like the Tek MSOs the best.


This will help you get started with using RS232 handshaking:

Good Luck!
