Re: PC Com Port data capture....

Note this method burns a user license by running full time on a serial port.
This program assumes your scale sends a single character string with a
carriage return at the end of the string as most do.

write the program:
SOURCE "PORT.LISTEN"
OPEN "FILENAME" TO FNAME ELSE STOP
SEQ=0
*
START:
INPUT STRING
IF STRING#"" THEN
SEQ=SEQ+1
WRITE STRING ON FNAME,SEQ
END
GOTO START
*
END

compile and catalog the program

create a system pointer:
SYSTEM "PORT.LISTEN"
Q
account name


create a users pointer:
USERS "PORT.LISTEN"
..
..
18 TO PORT.LISTEN


log on the serial port to the program:
LOGON port#,PORT.LISTEN
