Read data via COMM port

I have external device connected to my computer (Windows XP) and I
have aplication developed in FORMS 9.0.4. running on Linux Red Hat
Enterprise

Device is called DPI605R and is used for measuring pressure.

I'd like to create trigger which will read data from this device.

Can anyone tell me how can I open COMM port, initialize and read data?

Thx,
Miran

Hi, I'm experimenting with the Serial Port in VB.NET 2005. Although it isn't that easy to get any feedback from my COM-port as I thought it would be... How can I read all the Data that the port sends back? I tryed with SerialPort1.ReadLine, but that blocks the application and takes a lot of time (10 seconds!), I tryed SerialPort1.Read, but I have to read it into a buffer and has to indicate the count, but how do I know this?

Hello everyone, I'm new to visual VB and I am trying to setup communications to the outside world. I found the example listed below in the help section of Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. Using the Hyper Terminal should I be able to see the string "Hello" or am I completely off base here? Thank you in advance for all and any help.

Hello, I would like to get some opinions on using the Comm Port with Access 2000. We have a few jobs coming in that require us to interface with a PLC via the Comm Port. My partner feels we should use a Visual Basic Front End and the VB component as opposed to Access. Has anyone had good luck interfacing to a Comm Port using Access?
