Dear all,

I apologise before hand if this has been a topic for conversation
previously, but I am a newbie...

I am trying to communicate with an automated microscope (Leica DM RXA)
through the serial port (Linux and Windows). This consists of basic one
line commands with a carriage return and reading from the port. The
command will change depending on certain image qualities (ie,
auto-focus, etc), so it has to be embedded within a macro I guess.

I have read in earlier posts work relating to javacomm, but I have no
idea. I am a complete beginner!

It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction,
preferably with examples...

Many thanks, Andy
