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?

The barcodes scanner software I used would just stuff the data into the keyboard buffer, a bit easier to handle than using the comm port.
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.
