I'm trying to put together Tcl application which is going to collect data from several devices attached to serial ports.I need to be able to wait until I have received a full packet and than write it into a file together with time stamp and port number that the data came from.Does anyone have an idea how to do it in Tcl?Do I have to poll each device or is there something else I could do?
 
Thanks for your help!One more thing,I have just been told that you can talk only to ports 1-9 on Windows.I need to support up to 18 devices.Is there any way to work around this 9 ports limitation?
 
That's really a bit beyond me I'm afraid.
I wasn't even aware of such a limitation.
I suggest you try comp.lang.tcl, the experts all hang
out there.
