Advanced serial logger display nothing

[adic95]

Good morning,

I'm trying to use advanced serial data logger with a weight scale. This scale RS232 port is also connected to a serial printer. For use with a computer only receiving, I've made a spplit serial cable, with only gnd and tx connected to computer (and yes, the cable is TX->RX - tested and is working between 2 computers).
The problem is that the software is briefly show "received 14 bits" but nothing is displayed on screen.
Also if enable Spy Mode, it display when receiving data  "UART error"
COM settings are 9600/8/none/1 same as weight scale settings
But

Using another RS232 logger software, is working ok and this is shown :

24.06.2014 13:40 066.2 kg 2773 <00>                                           <00><0D>

Can someone guide me what I do wrong?

This data is wanted into an SQL database on a server and as I see, aggsoft is almost the only one soft that can do this.

thanks in advance

In your case you need the manual mode. Did you specify the valid baud rate in this mode?

Thank you for quick answer!
The problem was from parity setting (found this by trial and error method ).
