DLP-TH1 Visual Basic Source Code

Click here to download an OCX control for accessing the DLP-TH1 in a Visual Basic program. The download also includes an example program showing how to use the control.

Special thanks to David Rojas for providing the control. David can be reached at davidrojas@rgv.rr.com for additional software development requirements including ActiveX controls, test equipment interfacing software, NI TestStand 2.0 projects and more.

Please note that DLP Design does not provide support for this OCX control.

Generic Visual Basic access to a serial port

VB6 code for opening the port:
If MSComm1.PortOpen Then MSComm1.PortOpen = False
MSComm1.CommPort = 1
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
The first line insures the port (cannot be in use by another program) is closed. The second line sets the port number. The third line activates the port.

Sending is easy:
MSComm1.Output = "BD" & vbCr
"BD" can be string, if you want to make a subroutine. vbCr is a VB constant for a CR.

You can receive without interrupts:
MSComm1.Output = "R"
Sleep (15)
intRetBytes = MSComm1.InBufferCount
If intRetBytes <> 18 Then
     strTemp = CStr(intRetBytes) & " bytes returned (should be 18)."
     MsgBox (strTemp)
     Exit Sub
End If
strRx = MSComm1.Input
This sends an "R", waits 15 ms, then reads the size of the input buffer. You could read the size until it gets to 18 or times out also. The last statement reads the input buffer, which clears the size (the size continues to count if data is still coming). Be sure to read about the properties of the MSComm tool - especially the baud rate.

More Generic VB code:

Dim Array1(0 To 3) As Byte
Dim Array2(0 To 3) As Byte

Array1(0) = 4
Array1(1) = 48
Array1(2) = 1
Array1(3) = 0
Array2(0) = 4
Array2(1) = 48
Array2(2) = 1
Array2(3) = 1

USB_Serial.Open()

If USB_Serial.IsOpen Then
MsgBox(USB_Serial.IsOpen & "open")
Else
MsgBox("not open")
End If

USB_Serial.Write(Array1, 0, 4)

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

USB_Serial.Write(Array2, 0, 4)

USB_Serial.Close()
