weigh scale remote monitoring
(OP)
Anyone have a lead on a device to:
Read an ASCII stream from multiple weigh scales on RS232,
Display the weight on a local PC,
Allow for a remote dial in get the info,
Send an email notification when the weight is low,
via dialup ISP.
Any suggestions?

RE: weigh scale remote monitoring
When your ASCI stream is read from a com port then you can manipulate the information in whatever way you like. Usually you have to split the stream into a numerical part with a value/values and to the text part containing units, date or time or some other information.When this is done then you can transfer information, perform calculations, plot data etc. The same can be done in VB or with more effort in Excel/VBa (search the web on communiciton with VBa). If you are not experienced in programming you better find a professional because communication might be tricky for a beginner-of course you can do it but will take you a bit of your time.
