Ok, I'm trying to write a VB code where the user sets a bunch of settings ( low and high Thresholds, number of samples, ect) to a temperature Processor that is coded in Java.

So far I have got the two of them to communicate with each other through the Serial port but were im running into trouble is when the user inputs all these settings and sends them through the serial port. I dont know how to identify the information.

for example I dont know how to tell the temperature chip that x is the high threshold or that B is the number of samples it should collect.

So my question is, is there a way to identify each value (a header maybe?) as its sent through the serial port
