Can Qt Serial Port be also used in RS-422 and 485? If so, it's better to write it in the document.

    Description

      link : https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtserialport-index.html
      *I set the "Affected Version/s" as "6.3.0" because that's the version of the document I read, but I think it's highly the case that all the older versions have the same issue.

      As I was reading the document about Qt Serial Port, I found one sentence :

      "getting and setting the control signals of the RS-232 pinouts."

       

      Which made me wonder "What about RS-422 and 485"?

      I think it's better to write they are also usable if they are with Qt Serial Port.

      The reason is because generally the document has to do its best to eliminate any room for possible confusion or misunderstanding.

      We should not say "it's your falut of being ignorant about certain things to not being able to understand our documents."

      Maybe it's true that I'm just one of the few who get confused by it, but still if there's even a few people who could get confused, we need to do our best to eliminate that confusion.

      So please write in the document if RS-422 and 485 are also usable with Qt Serial Port.

      Otherwise, it is guaranteed that there will be some confused people and endless questions to R&D about this in the future.
