The modbus_new_rtu() function shall allocate and initialize a modbus_t structure to communicate in RTU mode on a serial line. The device argument specifies the name of the serial port handled by the OS, eg. /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0. On Windows, it's necessary to prepend COM name with \. for COM number greater than 9, eg. \\.\COM10.

The stop_bits argument specifies the bits of stop, the allowed values are 1 and 2.
