The communication standard used by the instrument, for example Modbus. This is how the software communicates with the instrument and is not related to the type of communications standard used by the port (RS232, RS485 etc.).

 

To communicate with instruments that use different communications protocols SpecView's Multiport option will be required.

 

The Communications Protocol can be thought of as the 'language' used by the instrument to send/receive values to/from the computer.
