Serial Port (USB)?
How do I send and receive ascii on a USB serial
port? It's to and from a Drake R8B shortwave receiver, and just to set the time of day etc, twice a year. It would be nice if it just appeared as a device like an external HD that I can write to and read from. I'm using Cygwin under XP, so if it has a device name presumably I can just send text to it and read text from it, but I have no idea how it comes up. Maybe I need what's referred to as a terminal program, but I don't know what that means. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
