Data returned by reads

[srini-raju]

Hi,
I started working on modbus and saw your package. Very well written and works very well. Thanks for doing this. I don't have much experience with modbus. I have a question about the data returned by some read methods:

• Read discrete's and Read coils are supposed to return data in hex. Is it getting converted to "int" somewhere in the code?
• How to get the value for a single coil or register?
• For ReadRegisters, is the data getting converted to int8 somewhere? I see some samples returning data as [205 0 0].

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for late reply.

• The library does not convert data in response. I think the hex you see is the representation of the response data.
• See https://github.com/goburrow/modbus/blob/master/api.go
• Same answer to the first question.
  Do you have any examples or know where in the specs saying data is in hex?
