Sample Application

SerialPortIrComm is a SatForms plugin extension that duplicates the functionality of the standard SerialPort extension included with SatForms, with one important enhancement: it also enables you to send/receive data via infrared using either raw SIR or the IrComm protocol.

Use the SerialPortIrComm extension just like, and in place of, the standard SerialPort extension. The infrared option is selected by opening a different port:

- For the regular serial port, open port 0.

- For raw SIR (serial over infrared) mode, open port 1.

- For IrComm mode, open port 2 and read data in binary mode, instead of text mode.

Note: IrComm is only available on PalmOS 3.3+ devices. Raw SIR is NOT available on many OS 4.x and 5.x devices.
