2 com port parallely

If you see my protocol then *B$  I need to send  using COM1 and from COM2 I need  to read *BOK$....Again in the next command I need *Dc1$ from COM2 and *DOK$ from COM1.. again in next I need to change the COM ports

Now its not good as per me to use 4 while loops.

 

What say?

Since it seems like a "laundry list" of things to do, maybe you would use some kind of state machine to process your commands and responses.

Nothing wrong with having another loop that works as a state machine that sends the commands around and reads data from a queue.

 

But based on what you just showed, I would just make a simple state machine.
