Dear Sir:

I had a hardware(switch), direct connect to computer com1 using R485 line.
I can turn the switch on/off using standard serial test code.
I can also using following rxtx( same version as scadabr using) java code to turn it on/off.

now with mango, I created modbus serial data source, and it can scan found 1 node. But when create data point,
there is no "output" option for "Register range", so I do not know how to continue.

would you please help me how to create data source ( modbus serial or .. ?) ,
data point and script to turn the switch on/off ?

Thanks a lot.
