Albert,
You're probably right. In my programs, I seldom have a need or even want, any type of GUI but it would makes things convenient at times.

It really does no good to do anything with the instruments connected. Either a built-in port or a USB-RS232 converter.
Before you connect though, you need to open the manual and see what type of serial cable is required. There are tow basic types, straight-through or null modem. A null modem cable may sometimes be called a cross-over type. After connection, you then need to configure the baud rate, parity, stop bits according to what the manual says the instrument uses. Once you've done that, then you can start trying the commands that the manual lists.
