Hello

After installation nrComm Lib you can find "{nrComm_Home_Folder}\Demos\SimplePacket\SimplePacket.dpr" project. It shows a simple way how you can detect a data packet by fixed end char sequence.

Another way is using the TnrDataProcessor component.
Unfortunately the Object Inspector does not allow to enter invisible chars (#13, #10) in design mode for string properties of DataPacket.

But you can initialize the needed properties at runtime before open serial port:

nrDataProcessor1.DataPackets[1].PacketEnd := #13;
