Hi all,

I am trying control by RS-232 a video mixer using the VB MSComm control.
I need to send bytes to the hardware instead of text.
For example:
-First break
-Second the adress of hardware (30H)
-Then I need to send commands to it, but all are three bytes, for example 0H c3H 2H

How i have to send it?
any idea?

Thanks,
 
According to the help file it's simple enough:

"To send binary data, you must pass a Variant which contains a byte array to the Output property."
