FoxPro - Foxpro Com Port


Expert: Markish - 9/13/2008

Question
I want to capture date from a computerised weighment scale.
The Third-party software installed at Weigh Bridge is working properly.

For the another purpose i want to capture the same date displayed at the LCD Console with the separate utility(Foxpro 2.x - Foxpro 6.0)  

Answer
Hi Anil,
   To capture data from the COM port, you can use fopen(), fread(), fclose(). But I don't remember doing it in the recent past. In the recent past, for one of my client, I used the COMtoKB a third party tool.


Hope this helps..
Best regards,
Markish
