Hi,

I am developing one app. which has the function of Modbus Master RTU. It needs to read the register values from slave.
So my problem is that can I use timer system.timer as the function of multi-threading?
Because I never use thread, and now I need to get my app done soon. Thanks so much !

Hi, Thanks for replying. I have read the link you send. I think I am using the first type timer: Windows.Forms.Timer. Because I just drag one timer component from the toolbox. I have one button to connect my master to slave, so that it will start to read data periodically. Do you know what should I do in order to let the timer work ? Thanks a lot!
