rs232 temperature data read into PC , want to send as email

Tcl/tk is a scripting language which runs on most OS/hw combinations, and has a simple serial interface which can read RS-232. Libraries are available which reduce the sending out of an email to a couple of lines based upon tcllib. I'd suggest you look at the ActiveState version of Tcl with batteries included, and refer to the comp.lang.tcl usenet group for assistance.

Oh, and Tk is the included toolkit language which make development of graphical user interfaces dead easy, with portable interfaces which look pretty good owing to the recent (tile) improvements to provide "themeing".

While expensive, LabVIEW is very easy to do many such complex functions. The link above shows how to send an email. The VISA functions allow reading of a serial channel.

I made the below setup use a vbscript to send email from a simple programming language called just basic. You can run the vbscript with arguments using a batch file.

Hi Lyn,

I am not sure how familiar you are with programming, but in C# .net it is very easy to work with the serial port and sending a mail is almost even easier.

Have a look at those articles:

Yours sincerely,

Patrick.
