Sending Byte List

The thing is the inverted payloads and payload sizes only refer to the two records/structures in packetized headers,  one is only two bytes the other only 5 with most of the variables just one byte, using the structure to decode it seems irrelevant to me.

No, 3315 is not reasonable, the payload bytes are separate bytes with the inverted one being 255 - payloadsize, the other a byte with the size.

I will see about the IOHandler.InputBuffer.Size property, though I have the code written it would seem easier to read the buffer in it's entirety then deal with the byte array.

The correct solution is to follow the structure of the data. Each packet gives you payload sizes, so that is how many bytes you should be reading, and then you can process what you read. Utilizing the IOHandler.InputBuffer.Size property will not help you, it will only make more work for you. You still have to packetize the raw bytes you receive, so let Indy handle that for you.

Let's please stop guessing here. Do you have any documentation about the device's TCP protocol? If not, what kind of device is it exactly?

If that is true I can fix it in 10 minutes or less!

Yes, AConvert is True by default. I said that earlier, and you can see it for yourself in the method declaration, too.

Don't bother. It is very old, it hasn't been updated in many years. Not worth paying for.
