C Serial Communication BCD

Hi Folks,

We have a Clock System that pumps out BCD data signal to a Serial Port RS232. Do you know any program or C Code that can read and decode this BCD data via Serial Port RS232? I have tried reading these data using HyperTerminal & Indigo Terminal but it can only read BIN/HEX/DEC/ASCII/OCT and not BCD. We need a software that can read BCD. Anyone knows?

Thank you very much :)

Reading data from a serial port and "decoding" BCD should be treated as two separate issues. It's not exactly difficult to convert to/from BCD. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal. As for serial port reading, it's platform dependent.
