razor_rich Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello, Years ago I got a V280 to read the ASCII string outputted by a scale indicator via RS232. The Unitronics tech support guy back then, Jason, told me to download a program onto my PC that read whatever ASCII string was outputted by the indicator. I just had to hook up my indicator to my PC via RS232. This worked beautifully, and it was a cinch after that to get the V280 to read the indicator's ASCII string. Does anybody know what the name of that program is and where I can find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor_rich Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Figured it out. Download Termite here: http://www.compuphase.com/software_termite.htm They only have a Windows version, but I was able to get it to work right away with the same COM1 port that VisiLogic uses.

TT_ZX Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks for the tip. I've been using putty but this looks very good. I'm going to give it try tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT_ZX Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Works much better than putty, thanks. Now I can disconnect and reconnect without having to close the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
