In this case, it is mandatory that Hardware flow control One thing that needs to be recognized is that OP stated that he was employing a simple 3-wire system (Tx, Rx, and Gnd).

The most common source, in my experience, with such a problem, is by attempting to use parity at one end and failing to match that setting at the other end. To be sure, it is easy to confuse "noise" with a mismatch in port parameters. Simply make sure that grounds and other connections are correct, and make sure that you are not exceeding reasonable distances, though you generally can exceed the limits specified by The most likely cause of "noise" is also the easiest to address. If trying to send/receive data over an extendedÄistance, it may be necessary to employ a RS422, balanced, sytem using appropriate drivers/receivers/cable, of by using a fiber optic system. It might be caused by exeeding the distance limitations imposed by RS232 (the standard asserts a distance limitation much lower than than is the distance that often is used). I may be cause by poor grounding, where addressing that issue The source might be cross-talk, cause by electrical or magnetic inteference, where shielded cable may help. It there is real noise, then the source of the problem has to be addressed.

Here is the code for the send and receive, can anyone assist me? It will cut some of the letters out or show random ASCII characters. When I try to send data like "Example", the device output is showing "Ex?". The problem I am having I think is related to a timing issue. Which I got to work and I'm able to send and receive data, to an extent. I am trying to communicate with a device using RS-232 and VB Express 2010.
