Hello,

I need to convert Ascii data coming from a burst of data.  
this is coming from the COM port.

0021002#dC#�k0.0 I get  
online converted to  
4 48 1 1 48 4 50 49 48 48 48 35 100 16 3 239 191 189 239 191 189 16 1 239 191 189 16 16 1 4 107 2 48 46 48 10 10

how can this be done in the Fx function?

regards

Tom

Why don't you just change the comport to return a buffer instead of ASCII?
