I have a DVM that spits out readings on a serial port. How do I "connect" that serial stream to something I can read using Java?

Hi, welcome to the ranch! See if the Communications API does what you need.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Be aware that the Java Comm API is no longer supported on Windows. The JavaRanch IO FAQ contains several alternatives.
