On Win2k I have the serial output of a piece of equipment equipment connected to Com1 and amd trying to read it via the serial control, but I seem not to be getting anything. It's been about 15 years since I played with thins kind of stuff so I may be missibg something.
I've got the instrument and serial port configured the same way witj regard to baud rate, DataBits, parity and FlowControl as far as I can tell. Until I matched them teh instrument woudl not send data and it does now... But I don't get anything from the serial control. In Window open: Serial1.SerialPort=System.SerialPort(0) MsgBox Serial1.SerialPort.Name ' Shows COM1 If Not Serial1.Open Then MsgBox "Can't Open Port" ' does not come up In Event Serial1.DataAvailable: EditField1.Text=EditField1.Text+ Me.ReadAll() In Event Serial1.Error MsgBox "error: " +Str( me.LastErrorCode) When I transmit data from the insrument (it says it sent 15 lines) nothing shows up in the editfield but neither does the error event fires BTW same thing happens in Hyperterm when I set the port parematers the same way... What am I missing?
