Question

How to start and stop communication drivers during the runtime?

Answer

• Start all drivers configured in the application:
  
  Syntax: StartTask(“Driver�)
  
  Example: StartTask(“Driver�)
  
• Start a specific driver configured in the application:
  
  Syntax: WinExec(“BINStudio Manager.exe�+� “+“BINDriver.dll�+� “+ “�)
  
  For example: WinExec(Asc2Str(34)+“C:Program FilesPoint of ViewBINStudio Manager.exe+ Asc2Str(34)+�
  “+Asc2Str(34)+ “C:Program FilesPoint of ViewBINDriver.dll�+ Asc2Str(34)+� “+Asc2Str(34)+
  “MODBU�+Asc2Str(34))
  
  
• Note: The Asc2Str(34) function is used to concatenate quotation marks for paths where there are space chars.
  
• Stop a specific driver configured in the application:
  
  Syntax: EndTask(“Driver�)
  
  Example: EndTask(“DriverMODBU�)
