Hello All
Here is my challenge. I have a leak tester that sends ASCII data out continually during it's test. At the end, it sends the test name and results. All I need in my PLC is this test name & results. Is there a way to constantly dump the ASCII buffer to a string until the message is finished? I tried toggling two ASCII reads (ARD) until the data stops coming, but don't always get the entire message.
Here is what the data looks like at the end (from hyperterminal)- the Gž³Cˆƒä< data is streaming throughout the test. I can parse out the results (WATER, date, time, etc) if I can just capture the last of the date.
