ANSI decode and store

[Tebee]

I need to gather data from an equipment sending-only status to a VT100/ANSI terminal using rs-232 comm's.
Data appearing on serial can be properly decoded and display in PuTTY, the raw content of communication is of this type:

Code Select Expand

7<abcdef>87<abdef>87<abcdef> <itm1> <col1> <col2> <col3> <col4> <col5>  <itm2> <col1> <col2> <col3> <col4> <col5>  7<abcdef>8<abcdef> <itm3> <col1> <col2> <col3> <col4> <col5>  <itm4> <col1> <col2> <col3> <col4> <col5> [/font][/font][/font][/font][/font]

I need a component that decodes ANSI/ECMA messages in a data source type component, to retrieve data from the <col1..5> fields in the message.

I found other company decoding ANSI in straight way but only from telnet/tcpip, do you have appropriate components for the aim?

Cheers.

Our Advanced Serial Data Logger software can decode data from these terminals too. But this isn't a component.

I can not get it working, beside the vt100 option is enabled output is like simple rs232 monitor.
In receive mode (tx not used):
- The escape sequences are not interpreted
- The cursor position is always incremented with data received
General usage:
Sometime it does not start because port is already in use (not true).

Regarding your statement, it is not a component, it means the ocx has not all features of the application?

Beside all this, price is interesting if only I can get it working. For quick evaluation, do you have a saved configuration with ANSI decode?

Cheers.

Our software implements a simple emulation only (line feeds, carriage returns, tabs). It doesn't work as a terminal program.

OCX (ActiveX) works as an extension for our software and can't be used separately.

Thanks, just let me know the reason of "vt100" option.
Cheers

Remove escape sequences, send acknowledgments when necessary.
