Abstrakt: In this paper we describe communications between a personal computer and any instrument with a serial port for the purpose of collecting data or controlling equipment and a program for performing this task. From a user-defined file, the software reads the communication parameters: baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity. The communication protocol is also read: echo, acknowledge and end-of-transmission characters. The software can be used to determine the protocol, to check the integrity of the communications, and can form the basis of a program for more specific applications.
