Uh, that's weird. Since Python cannot guess its format, you'll have to try it out. Why don't you try to let the device output well-known values and write a python script to display them bitwise? With some luck you can reverse engineer the format. Regards, Björn -- BOFH excuse #12: dry joints on cable plug -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
