Here is a link that may answer part of the question: http://batchloaf.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/simple-trick-for-sending-characters-to-a-serial-port-in-windows/
His simple method of doing "echo hello <or your command string> to com1" would probably work. You could then make that a batch file to be run periodically. While I am not currently a Windows user I seem to recall an "ON" command that can schedule things.
Hope this helps. Regards, Ray W0PFO -- On 08/06/2013 11:36 AM, drewko wrote:
The question is, what is the simplest solution for achieving this? Don't really want to install some full-blown logging-control software. I am wondering if there is perhaps some little generic utility available that will send user specified commands over the serial port at specified intervals. Is there anything like that available? (Years ago there was a great telecom program called COMMO that could do this.) 73, Drew AF2Z
