    Default Not reading the serial port data fully using QExserialports readyread of singal slot

    OS:Ubuntu 11
    QExtSerialport 1.2 beta


    I am creating an application to write an instruction to a device and receive its response from the device. I connected the readyread() singal to onReadyRead() slot. but sometime its getting only the partial data from the device to the onReadyRead() slot.

    I am writing *Read to device
    and getting
    *Read<Values>
    P=122
    C=0.33
    sometime I got only the partial result in my onReadyRead()

    I tried event driven and Polling methods.Still the issue exist.How I can completely read the device input in my onReadyRead().
    I checked this on putty software also. its working perfectly in there.

    my code sample is given below

    Qt Code:
    1. void Reader::Create()
    2. {
    3. PortSettings settings = {BAUD19200, DATA_8, PAR_NONE, STOP_1, FLOW_OFF, 20};
    4. port = new QextSerialPort(m_strPortName, settings, QextSerialPort::EventDriven);
    5.  
    6. timer = new QTimer(this);
    7. timer->setInterval(20);
    8.  
    9.  
    10.  
    11. connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), SLOT(onReadyRead()));
    12. connect(port, SIGNAL(readyRead()), SLOT(onReadyRead()));
    13.  
    14. if (!port->isOpen())
    15. {
    16. port->setPortName(m_strPortName);
    17. port->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite);
    18. }
    19. else {
    20. // port->close();
    21. }
    22.  
    23. if (port->isOpen() && port->queryMode() == QextSerialPort::Polling)
    24. timer->start();
    25. else
    26. timer->stop();
    27.  
    28. }
    29.  
    30. void Reader::onReadyRead()
    31. {
    32. if (port->bytesAvailable())
    33. {
    34. m_strData= port->readAll();
    35. }
    36. }

    Your slot will be called again when more data is available.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Remember that the slot can be called after the first byte of data.

    How can I get the full data to a string with a single call.

    I want to read the full data to a string before next input to the serial device

    You can't. The speed of data transmission over the wire is finite.

    Aggregate incoming data in a buffer and once you detect(*) all of it has arrived, you can start processing it.

    *) how to do that depends on your application protocol
