Paul and other responders, thanks. Think I'ma bit clearer how to do it now.
q1) My com device is an energy monitor that sends a block of xml data, 1000 bytes or so, every 6 secs. Guess this means I might be better 'using getbuf or whatever it's called in synaser, rather than single char at a time? Any examples of using this welcome.
q2) does synaser work on win98/me? Regards John On , Paul Breneman <paul2...@brenemanlabs.com> wrote:
John,
I'm trying to get data from a device via a serial (com) port, 9600 baud,
connected via the prolific cable (serial to usb). This allows one to connect
a serial device via a usb port (many new PCs do not have a real serial port.
I've loaded the prolific driver.
Anyone have fpc program that'll work on win xp.
I have some files here that might help you get started using the SynaSer package with FPC:
