Do any of you have any perl scripts that do this? I would like to look at your logic either for a serial or usb port.
Based on an upcoming but unlikely need I may have, I thought I would give google a look, first hit lays some ideas out pretty easily:
http://aplawrence.com/BGarlock/logger.html
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Device-SerialPort/SerialPort.pm
What exactly do you need to do?
Thanks for your response....
I found this script on aplawrence as well, but my first attempts failed in making it work. I decided to take another look at it after your note, and was successful getting Device::SerialPort to installed using a different computer. I had to change :
#$PORT = "/dev/ttyD015"; # port to watch $PORT = "/dev/ttyS0"; # port to watch
but I was able to make it execute.
I am trying to connect a automated urine analyzer to a serial report with the hope of catching the results so that I can eventually incorporate the data in a patient medical record. I intend to do the same thing for a blood analyzer.
Now that I have Tony Lawrence's script executing I can take the next step of connecting the urine analyzer to to the serial port to do some testing.
Thanks for prompting me to look at the logger script again, I had given up on it.
