Hi VRF,

I am trying to capture alpha numeric data that is streaming into a serial
port on my PC. I would like to capture this data between known starting
and ending points, then grab specific information contained within the
capture. I can do this by running Hyperterminal as a PC Execute within
Vee...Writing the Hyperterminal Data to a txt file of the HDD...Then
reading the text file back into VEE...but it seems like the hard way to do
it. Is there an easier way to get this information into VEE? The data
that I am capturing is listed below in bold and repeats continuously,
although I only need to capture one pass of information.

I am using VEE 7.0 on an XP machine.

Then, you add a serial instrument using the instrument manager. You set the properties of the instrument to the correct baud rate, etc. Then, you use a Direct I/O Object, with a READ TEXT STRING transaction, to read the data. If your data has delimeters then you could read it in as a 1D array, which would help you parse the data if required. -----Original Message----- From: TDaniels@moreycorp.com [<A HREF="mailto:TDaniels@moreycorp.com">mailto:TDaniels@moreycorp.com</A>] Sent: Tuesday, May 04, 2004 9:36 AMI posted this message yesterday, but did not get any responses.

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
Are you sure your company firewall isn't grabbing the attachment? Or
whatever your using to read your mail? As it happens with me, I
received all versions, the .HLP file was collected by Outlook because
it thought that was a potentially unsafe file. It wasn't but I suspect
that was an example of Microsoft stupidity at work.

Hi,

There are a lot of examples files shipped with Agilent Vee.
Just open the Help menu in vee pro and select open example to open one
of the examples in one of the listed folders.

The examples in the "manual" folder correspond to chapters in the users
manual.

Regards,

Filip

Hi all,

New in this. Can I know where I can find some VEE examples to
download?

Can someone guide me on how I can configure equipment to do self test?
What are the issues I need to take note

Thanks.

Warm Regards,

NO WAY! Good god - this insanity must end! I know .hlp files can contain
macros, but geez louise - they can't do any damage.

Ok, I'm officially placing an item on my "Things To Do Real Soon Now"
agenda: find a way around all this crazy Outlook carpola. Even if it has to
be a blessed binary patch then so be it. This has gone way, WAY too far.

In the mean time (because RSN never seems to come), for all of those out
there who use Outlook to have VEE email reports and notifications to you, I
found a nifty little utility to get around that annoying "Another program is
trying to send mail..." warning. It's called Express ClickYes and it's free.
It can be found at:

http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html

Way to go Express Soft. I will be including ECY support in everything I do
with mail from now on.
