[OT] Pointer for data aquisition over serial port

[Jörg Johannes <j-j@gmx.de>]

Hi List

The subject says it (nearly) all: I have an old spectrophotometer which has
a serial port. According to the manual, it reads commands in cleartext, and
outputs its measured data in clear text as well. So what I need is a software
that allows me to send such commands to the serial port, and read the results
back over serial port into a file. Any pointers (or ready programs :)) ?

Thanks 
joerg

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
