SerialRead

Hi Ted,

I'm using your SerialSend code to control my Tenma 72-2550 power supply. It works perfectly, thank you for sharing your code. The power supply uses a very straightforward protocol, sending a message like VSET1:12.00 sets the output of channel 1 to 12.00 volts. According to the documentation I should be able to get the current voltage with the message VOUT1?. But how do I read out a response on the COM port?

Sorry, my message was a bit too simplistic maybe... I understand that I can use ReadFile(), but what is the proper way to use it. I'm not very familiar with I/O in Windows...
