Since IrCOMM supports several different modes of protocol operation, how do I determine which IrCOMM protocol to use and what other protocols will be required?
IrCOMM supports 5 protocol modes of operation. The mode you will need to use depends on the data/control transfer requirements of your application and what type(s) of devices your application needs to communicate with. Device manufacturers, like printer companies for example, do not standardize on a specific protocol: like IrLPT. Be sure to check the technical specifications of the device to know what protocols are needed to talk to the device. All IrCOMM data transfer rates are at half duplex.
