Add a com port to a form, open it and start processing data. I think the object is MSCOMM.ocx. Hope that helps.

Hi! I have tried to connect my MAS344 multimeter trough COM to laptop using MSCOMM without any success. Maybe the probles is with multimeter. Finally I returned back to my C routines in MSDOS. In next attempt I will try to use Java.

you should know the protocol of the equipment such as PLC,multimeter etc then only you can get data from the equipment thro port.you can use mscomm to get the data thro port.if you want i can send the sample programme which i have wriiten to get data from Matchushita PLC. c b ramesh
