A lot depends on how you communicate with the pole. Does it communicate over a COM: port, Parallel port or a USB port? Does the documentation provide any protocol requirements?

The problem is that FPW2.6b does not open serial port. The Pole Display I have is serial. Exist a way I may use to send information to Pole?..
Thanks

While I did that with great success in Win 3.x, and some success in Win95, if you are running under Win NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 - which don't support direct access to any "hardware" - then you'll need to go through mscomm32.ocx and that's not possible in FPW, you'll need VFP.
