Get FT300's data

Reveen 2018-09-18

Hi,Guys
I'm using FT300's Linux development package to do some research,but the demo only can get the FT300's data by stream.I'm wonder if I can get the data when I knocked the Enter key on the keyboard then the data updated once?

@Reveen, The FT300 has 2 communications protocol, the data stream, and the Modbus RTU. The data stream is initiated and stopped by a Modbus request. With the Modbus RTU you can request the data you required when desired.

@louis_bergeron
Are there any demo for the Modbus RTU?

@Reveen,

We don't have a demo but depending on your programming environment, you can get Modbus RTU library on the web. You can use the function 'Read holding register FC03' of this protocol to read the force-torque sensor registers. Each force and torque are available through registers. These registers are described in the manual here.
