Have a little problem....
I'm developing an application for a hospital. I'm trying to read some data from an EKG measuring device and this device is again connected to the COM2 port on my computer.
But to read data from the device I need to send the value 3 to the measuring equipment to make it send back 17 Bits of data.

I've tried the OpenFile("COM2")....doesn't work.

Well....
Anybody with a good idea????
(got it to work in QBasic, hehe)

use OpenComPort(0,"COM2:") this is an "officially" unsuported command

there is also PureFrog
in purebasic.com/download.php3 which is an example
