Is there a shorthand for it ? you are tlaking to something else through the COM port, then you need to find what it is actually expecting (6 in octal or a string representation). More than likely a 6 represented in binary is good enough in this case. Peace and Grace, -- Gregory A.

| | Re: octal number Is 6 the only value you have to send? If so, then this is the same as decimal 6 or hexadecimal 6. If you need to convert other ranges of values, then you will need some code -- there are samples available online.
