title: Reading Data from Machine to computer
body: <p>I am starting a NEW project into this complete new segment of microcontroller, so my questions may sound simple but I need your help here</p>
  
  <p>I have a Micro-controller based machine which does some counting and timer related activities. This machine is connected to PC using serial port.</p>
  
  <p>I want to read the data from the machine. </p>
  
  <p>For this what are the things that I need to know like </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Port No?</li>
  <li>Baud Rate?</li>
  <li>Any encoding/decoding?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I can see the data on the machine display but then I have to manually enter it into system so I want to automate this process. </p>
  
  <p>Client had a software which was working previously but now they want me to upgrade it. Machine vendor/ old software vendor are out of reach to ask them any details.</p>
  
  <p>No documentation is present.</p>
  
  <p><strong>So I want to know whether this is feasible or not?</strong></p>
