Hello everybody!
I'm programming in VB6, but now I have a problem with programming the serial port... To tell you the truth, this is my first time using some COM port in my project, so I'll be very happy and thankful if you help me... well, here is the situation:

I have a device, which can give an electric impule (5V (is this the correct value for the serial port?)) in some period of time. For example: 1sec. - impulse, 4sec. - off, 3sec. - impulse, 6sec. - off and so on... My questions are:
1. How can I connect this device to the serial port...
2. What kind of code should I use, to be able to recognize the impulses...for example: a value returns "1", when there is an impulse, and "0" when there is no...

Please give me an idea, what I should do!

Respectfully yours: Nubits
