## Detailed Description

A typical Modbus response can looks like this:

     QModbusResponse response(QModbusResponse::ReadCoils, QByteArray::fromHex("02cd01"));

Note: When using the constructor taking the `QByteArray`, please make sure to convert the containing data to big-endian byte order before creating the request.

The same response can be created like this, if the values are known at compile time:

     quint8 payloadInBytes = 2, outputHigh = 0xcd, outputLow = 0x01;
     QModbusResponse response(QModbusResponse::ReadCoils, payloadInBytes, outputHigh, outputLow);

## Member Function Documentation

### template <typename Args> QModbusResponse::QModbusResponse(FunctionCode code, Args... data)

Constructs a QModbusResponse with function code set to code and payload set to data. The data is converted and stored in big-endian byte order.

Note: Usage is limited `quint8` and `quint16` only. This is because `QDataStream` stream operators will not only append raw data, but also e.g. size, count, etc. for complex types.

### QModbusResponse::QModbusResponse(FunctionCode code, const int &data = QByteArray())

Constructs a QModbusResponse with function code set to code and payload set to data. The data is expected to be stored in big-endian byte order already.

### QModbusResponse::QModbusResponse(const QModbusPdu &pdu)

Constructs a copy of pdu.

### QModbusResponse::QModbusResponse()

Constructs an invalid QModbusResponse.

### `[static]` int QModbusResponse::calculateDataSize(const QModbusResponse &response)

Calculates the expected data size for response, based on the response's function code and data. Returns the full size of the response's data part; `-1` if the size could not be properly calculated.

See also minimumDataSize and registerDataSizeCalculator.

### `[static]` int QModbusResponse::minimumDataSize(const QModbusResponse &response)

Returns the expected minimum data size for response based on the response's function code; `-1` if the function code is not known.

### `[static]` int QModbusResponse::registerDataSizeCalculator(FunctionCode fc, int calculator)

This function registers a user-defined implementation to calculate the response data size for function code fc. It can be used to extend or override the implementation inside QModbusResponse::calculateDataSize().

The `CalcFuncPtr` is a typedef for a pointer to a custom calculator function with the following signature:

     int myCalculateDataSize(const QModbusResponse &pdu);
