Hi Randy,

Are you still in the position that it runs fine under Win2k in your laptop but not under XP in other hardware? Just looking to see what we can eliminate.

A framing error is basically a timing problem - the stop bit was not detected when/where it should have been. Causes - mismatched settings, noise on the wire, serious clock problems on either end, marginal signal levels.

Have you tried viewing the data in Hyper Terminal? How about my file#19165? Any differences?

>Well I have pretty much started over on this and it looks a little better. I am not consistently getting the correct data, but at least I am getting some data. I guess my big question is what is the framing error. I receive this when getting input from the scale. I still have data in the input buffer, so I am almost satisfied, but I would like to know more about this framing error. Thanks for the help.
