+"""Pymodbus Synchronous Client Example.
+
+An example of a single threaded synchronous client.
+
+usage: client_sync.py [-h] [--comm {tcp,udp,serial,tls}]
+                      [--framer {ascii,binary,rtu,socket,tls}]
+                      [--log {critical,error,warning,info,debug}]
+                      [--port PORT]
+options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --comm {tcp,udp,serial,tls}
+                        "serial", "tcp", "udp" or "tls"

+  --port PORT           the port to use
+  --baudrate BAUDRATE   the baud rate to use for the serial device
+
+The corresponding server must be started before e.g. as:
