serial and RS232

I work with a device that outputs data ascii string once per second.How can
I erase the data from the buffer so that when I want to download a string
every ten seconds I wouldn't have to download ten strings?

Hi Frixos

Assuming you are using VISA for serial I/O, check out 'VISA Flush Serial
Buffer' under 'Interface Specific' Palette.
