Hi list . . . i did connect a elotouch to pd via comport. So far it works . .and i get data . .. . they looks like this: print: 85 print: 84 print: 96 print: 54 print: 244 print: 83 print: 122 print: 1 print: 57 print: 85 print: 84 . . .. ..

i did pack them to a list . .looks like:

***************************: bang print: 194 206 67 70 33 32 144 250 print: 96 102 40 72 132 4 42 255 print: 193 102 67 33 33 208 255 print: 193 102 67 72 200 2 122 print: 193 102 67 72 136 5 100 print: 193 102 67 72 72 5 228 print: 193 102 67 34 33 10 232 255 print: 193 102 67 34 33 2 154 ***************************: bang

first number (194 193 96) tells the mode (stream untouch . .. .). The other 6 params are cordinates i guess . . .dos anyone now how to glue them together . .. ? below the description of the ascii mode . . .. . ..seams that 2 following numbers stay for one cordinate . . .. dos anyone have a idea . .. ? thanx nos

SmartSet ASCII Mode In this mode, coordinate data is formatted as three ASCII decimal numbers for X, Y, and Z. The range of the coordinates is determined by the calibration and scaling options of the controller. Coordinate values of less than 1000 are padded with leading zeroes so each number will have at least four digits. Scaling may require the addition of an additional digit for values greater than 9999. Scaling may also add a leading minus sign ("-"). Plus signs are suppressed. The Z coordinate is followed by an optional status indicator. A "T" indicates initial or stream touch, a "U" indicates untouch. In the example below, optional characters are underlined.

<->XXXXX<space><->YYYYY<space><->ZZZZZ<space><T|U><CR><LF> J2-Y, J10-N, J11-N; 0/1,5

84 T (initial or stream touch) 85 U (indicates untouch) 45 -

193 stream 194 end 96
