RS-232, Application development

Wolfgang · 06-22-2004, 10:40 AM

Hello Developers,
I am newbie in this field. What do I have to do to to connect my Apple computer operating with Panther to a peripheral device such as a digital multimeter or any other device by a serial communication as RS-232. There is no "COM" connection so I first have made shure the hardware connection is ok and so far I added an adapter (USB->RS-232 from Keyspan). Then I have installed the driver software for this adapter.
The Software side: What else do I have to take into account? I want to write an application which does dataacquisition. Nevertheless the serial communication has to be managed as well..
I'd like to have a more general understanding to this field. What is your suggestion?

Who can help me with a tutorial, hints, examples, a.s.o.?
(I do programming in C++)

Thank you for any idea and help!

Wolfgang
