Hello !!!

I am a happy user of Macro Scheduler and I need only read information of serial port.

I read in this forum that I need acquire activex software for work with serial port but, for only read information , can I utilize windows api? is possible any example?

Greetings,

Reimon

Actually, in theory, you can read from the serial port by using the ReadLn command and specifying the port name instead of a file name:

ReadLn>COM1:,1,line

Thanks Marcus.

I am going to do tests.

How can I know when the variable contains information? Looking at his value from time to time? or exist any method that it warns me when it contains information?.

Thank you again.
