Format:Paperback
The book Serial Port Complete is an excellent review of the hardware and signal handling aspects of using the RS-232 and RS-485 systems. It deals well with many of the "rules of thumb" that many have had to learn the hard way over time. The book is limited in its help for the PC user. While it has many usefull examples for the Visual Basic user, most of these can not be extended to the C++ user in a simple clean manner. The Section on using the Windows API's is much too simplified to actually use it for anything usefull (even the author indicates it is limited).

Format:Paperback
The book Serial Port Complete takes an excellent look of the hardware and the software response of using the RS-232 and RS-485 network transceivers. There is loads of code in it to help you and the disk it comes with contains a good protion of code written in vb5. While it has many usefull examples for the Visual Basic user, most of these cannot be extended to the C++ user in a simple clean manner. The Section on using the Windows API's is ridiculed since the mscomm control in vb6 does much of the work for you now (even the author indicates its limitations). All round a very worth while purchase.
Format:Paperback
The book should find space on the shelf of anyone interested in interfacing a Windows PC to another device using the serial port. Do you want to communication with a microcontroller or other embedded processor? Here it is. Axelson spends time covering information that you simply will not find elsewhere. Her BASIC Stamp program example is an illustration of this detail. Also covered are details on RS-422/RS-485, cabling, etc.
