    Hi,

    Do you have any other application also accessing that serial port ?

      Hi,
      I read data with Hercules_3-2-6 Application (rs232 terminal software), but before opening my program, I closed Hercules_3-2-6 Application

        My program worked today, and I have not any error.
        But I do not any change to program.

        When I run program,
        program connects to port successfully, but I receive just one data (space).

        But when I close this program and open Hercules_3-2-6 Application (rs232 terminal software), that application read data,
        and after close Hercules_3-2-6 application and open my application again, this program works and reads data until restarting computer.

        I repeat this process many times.

        But my project does not receive data after restarting system until port opens one time by Hercules_3-2-6 Application.

        Meanwhile I have virtual USB COM port and my hardware connected to computer with USB.

          Are you using the same serial port setup in both your application and Hercules_3-2-6 ?

            @SGaist

            yes, I using the same serial port setup in both my application and Hercules_3-2-6 .

            Specification of port: Name: COM3, Baud Rate: 9600, Data bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop bits: 1, Flow control: None

            Hercules_3-2-6

            My program:

            void MySerialPort::openSerialPort()
            {
                serial->setPortName("COM3");
            
            
                if (serial->open(QIODevice::ReadWrite)) {
                    serial->setParity(QSerialPort::NoParity);
                    serial->setBaudRate(QSerialPort::Baud9600);
                    serial->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
                    serial->setStopBits(QSerialPort::OneStop);
                    serial->setFlowControl(QSerialPort::NoFlowControl);
                    showStatusMessage("Connectedd");
            
                } else {
            
                    showStatusMessage(tr("Open error"));
                }
            }
            

            Meanwhile I have the same problem in qtserialport terminal example.
            When I run qtserialport terminal example, program connects to port successfully, but does not receive any data.
            But when I close this program and open Hercules_3-2-6 Application (rs232 terminal software), that application read data, and after close Hercules_3-2-6 application and open terminal example again, this program works and reads data until restarting computer.

              Does the device need DTR ?

                No,
                I wrote a C# .net program. It worked very well likes to Hercules_3-2-6 Application and qt program worked after opening the program.
                I added this line for handle error port.

                void MySerialPort::handleError(QSerialPort::SerialPortError error)
                {
                    qDebug() << "Error: " << error;//I added this line
                
                    if (error == QSerialPort::ResourceError) {
                        showStatusMessage(serial->errorString());
                        closeSerialPort();
                    }
                }
                

                Result of run program:

                Error: 0
                "Connectedd"
                Error: 6
                "\x00"

                Just sometimes I have error 6.
                How do I fix break condition error?

                      @SGaist
                      Thank you very much my dear.
                      Your answer was a big help for me.

                      My problem was solved by set "setDataTerminalReady" function to false.
                      I did not have information about the signal DTR, by pointing you I read about that and find my problem.
