<QUOTE>
I am trying to set up a shop floor data collection system. The scanners send data to a COM port but require that AREV sends a code to

release the information from the scanners. 

Does any know if AREV can do this and/or where I can find out how?

As Jonathan said not difficult. The tricky part is getting the ARev commport device driver to work with today's OSs and faster comm ports.
