10 10  Dragino RS485 tool is designed to provide a friendly way to user to configure Dragino RS485 Wireless Sensor such as : **RS485-LN**, **RS485-LB**, **RS485-BL**, **RS485-NB**.
11 11  
12 12  The RS485 tool provide below features:
13 13  
14 14  * A Console window which use can do debug via AT Commands.
15 -
16 16  * Test the poll command to RS485 sensors.
17 -
18 18  * See return from RS485 sensors and preview process command for returns.
19 -
20 20  * Generate the AT Commands after debuging.
21 -
22 22  * Write the AT Commands to end node in batch.
