Hi Gary,
I believe you need to read the Input value. Here's some code I have for
reading data from a scale/balance:
TRY
WITH THIS.oleComm
* for some reason I seem to need to run this twice to get the value
FOR lnCount = 1 TO Balance.NumTimes &&Balance is a DBF with the
various settings in for the Balance
.OUTPUT = Balance.OUTPUT &&"P" + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
DOEVENTS
lnStart = SECONDS()
WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Reading weight from scale..."
DO WHILE SECONDS() - lnStart <= Balance.WaitInt
DOEVENTS
ENDDO
lnBufferCount = .inBufferCount
lcString = .INPUT
IF lnBufferCount > 0 AND FILE("debug.txt")
WAIT WINDOW "Weight from scale..."+'[' + lcString +']'
ENDIF
WAIT CLEAR
ENDFOR
ENDWITH
CATCH
ENDTRY
