rs232 temperature data read into PC , want to send as email
Lyn
converted to USB via a CP2102 ), approx every hour into a Windows XP
PC. It reads fine into Windows Hyperterminal. I want to be able to
send this data out via email as it comes it. Is there any application
that can do this, free or commerical, please? I have searched using
Google but not found anything.

Tcl/tk is a scripting language which runs on most OS/hw combinations, and
has a simple serial interface which can read RS-232. Libraries are
available which reduce the sending out of an email to a couple of lines
based upon tcllib. I'd suggest you look at the ActiveState version of Tcl
with batteries included, and refer to the comp.lang.tcl usenet group for
assistance.
Oh, and Tk is the included toolkit language which make development of
graphical user interfaces dead easy, with portable interfaces which look
pretty good owing to the recent (tile) improvements to provide
"themeing".
HTH,
Rob.

While expensive, LabVIEW is very easy to do many such complex
functions. The link above shows how to send an email. The VISA
functions allow reading of a serial channel.

with arguments using a batch file.

I am not sure how familiar you are with programming, but in C# .net it
is very easy to work with the serial port and sending a mail is almost
even easier.
Have a look at those articles:

It should be a project that can be accomplished in about an hour.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick.
