Electronic Gage with SPC to Robot Com2

Has anyone tried ths? We would like to connect an electronic gage with

SPC and RS232 to the controller's Com2 to read the value on the

micrometer and store the data in a file. We have connected the gage to

the port, identified all the gages properties (parity, bits, etc), written

"Open" and "Read" code in the program but when we attempt to read the

gage when the "send" button is pressed, the program sits in a wait mode

as if no data was sent. Yet the light flashes on the gage indicating that

some transaction has occurred.



Thanks!
