SuperCom for Serial Communication

SuperCom is a programer's toolkit for programming data communication programs. SuperCom contains functions for all aspects of modern data transmission.

SuperCom supports data transmission through serial RS-232/422/485 ports.

Transmitting and receiving takes place in the background. The application can easily perform other tasks while data transmission takes place. The hardware or software flow control (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, XON/XOFF) can be taken over fully transparent by SuperCom.

Every interface runs with it's own transmit and receive buffer to prevent data loss and give the application the time to perform other tasks too.

Hardware errors are detected and if required reported.

Establishing dial-up connections is easy and it's featured directly through a Modem.

SuperCom API

SuperCom offers an easy to use, flexible and portable API. The same API is used among different operating systems and hardware.

The software developer uses one single API.

SuperCom is fast. SuperCom integrates the most modern communication technology like: event reporting, interrupt driven data transmission, high speed byte and paket functions. Furthermore it offers the highest security and speed with little burden on the computer, particularly important in a multitasking operating system.

Every connection runs with it's own transmit and receive buffer to prevent data loss and give the application the time to perform other tasks too.

Modularity in Data Communications

SuperCom consists of several modules which can be used according to your needs.

The core module contains the "low level functions" operating on top of the hardware and the "high level functions" offering a portable layer. This portable layer provides most wanted functions like: transmit and receive data (even time dependent), determine the status of a link, funtions that transmit and receive data packets (even time dependent), functions for calculating check sums and CRC, functions for setting up connections etc.

Other serial hardware may support additional bit rates.
