Hi,

The RS232 sends these single ASCII characters as they represent a byte, you can use any lookup table to tell what bytes these characters represent.

Eg: http://www.asciitable.com/ External link not supported by Matrix Multimedia

If you convert the byte value to a string using a toString string manipulation function then you can send the string down the RS232 a character at a time.

Dear Sir:

I already dome modification using a string function, but now the question is how to send a string trough RS232 macro, it does not have a sent string option?

Thanks

Hello,

Sorry its v4 that has the RS232 string send functionality.

You can instead create a simple loop to step through the string until you reach the end or a null character. See the attached example.
