Identification of packets in a byte stream

Question

I\'m having a bit of a problem with the communication to an accelerometer sensor. The sensor puts out about 8000 readings/second continuously. The sensor is plugged in to a

What you need to do is get some free SerialPortTerminal in c# import in your project and first check all the data and packets you are getting, unless you have already done that. Than just to read you will need to do something like...

   using System;
   using System.IO.Ports;
   using System.Windows.Forms;

   namespace SPE
   {
     class SerialPortProgram
     {
       // Create the serial port with basic settings
       private SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM4",      9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);

       [STAThread]
       static void Main(string[] args)
       { 
         // Instatiate this class
         new SerialPortProgram();
       }

       private SerialPortProgram()
       {
         Console.WriteLine("Incoming Data:");

         // Attach a method to be called when there      // is data waiting in the port's buffer
         port.DataReceived += new         SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port_DataReceived);

         // Begin communications
         port.Open();

         // Enter an application loop to keep this thread alive
         Application.Run();
       }

       private void port_DataReceived(object sender,      SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
       {
         // Show all the incoming data in the port's buffer
         Console.WriteLine(port.ReadExisting());
       }
     }
   }
