Issue

I am using the flow control setting "RS485 Transceiver Control - Set RTS high while sending". While executing a script, Docklight Scripting forgets to reset the RTS signal to low after completing the transmission.

Applies to: Docklight Scripting V1.6 (build V1.6.8)

Solution

This is a known bug in Docklight Scripting V1.6.8, which has been fixed in Docklight Scripting V1.6.23 or higher. NOTE: Docklight Scripting V1.7 uses the Windows RTS_CONTROL_TOGGLE mode for serial devices, instead of controlling the RTS signal manually. This improves the RTS timing and solves some issues with previous Docklight versions, but some communication devices, especially USB-to-Serial converters, do not support this mode properly.
