Hi Thanks for replying. I have read the link you send. I think I am using the first type timer: Windows.Forms.Timer. Because I just drag one timer component from the toolbox. I have one button to connect my master to slave so that it will start to read data periodically. Do you know what should I do in order to let the timer work ? Thanks a lot!
