Re: [mh] Serial Port Help Request

[Eric B. <eba...@ce...>]

Hello John,

I've been through the WIKI several times prior to this post and I did
not see how to make it work with the counter board.  Now, having written
the code I posted in my original message, I can see how what the WIKI
says would work for writing commands to the counter.  However, there is
no example code on how to read back the data.  Any Ideas on that?  I
need to get the output back from the weeder loaded into a variable so I
can work with it......

Thanks,

Eric
