Title: RS232 instrument I-O
Post by: Bertho on September 04, 2008, 03:32:47 AM
I am working on a touch-less digitizer and at each X-Y location I need to send a command to the instrument to take a reading.  The instrument will then respond by nnnnn.
I found the command to send a string in the "Customize Mach-2" manual but nothing about receiving RS-232.  I also saw an old post since 2006 that said that it is not available.
How can I read the data coming back in Mach-3?  TIA
