RTU slave simulator device not known and exception

[leissbua]

Describe the bug

I do not know to what serial device to connect when using slave simulator and end up with an exception when sending a payload.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Start slave simulator RTU, it is not know what virtual device comes up that can be connected to.

It is not known on what serial port the slave simulator is running. when simply setting rtu and sending a modbus payload i get an exception:

Can you clarify to what serial port i have to connect or is this a bug?

Thanks a lot and sorry if i simply dont get it.

regards

Are you trying to do a RTU slave and master from the same computer? If so, you would need two RS485 adapters. A serial port can only be bound once - either to a master or slave. The serial settings for the RTU simulator are located on the main window. Set up the serial settings on the main window, then start the simulator.
