Capture RS232 data
Hello, I work with a system that prints out receipts on a dedicated little
printer whenever there is a transaction. I want to be able to capture the information onto a laptop that I plug in instead of the printer, and end up with it all in an Excel spreadsheet. The printer connects to a multi-pin socket that looks like a COM port. The data comes out (and I don't know what any of this means) as RS232, 1200 baud rate, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. Can I get it dumped to disk in a format that Excel can read? Should I have posted this in another newsgroup? If so, can anyone tell me which one - I am a complete beginner when it comes to this kind of thing. Many thanks |
