We got weight string from COM port RS232 using MSCom in VB application. But using the same application on AVERY L225 weighbridge machine, it gives garbage string, thus can't get the right weight.

Please send the right solution.

Garbage strings are usually an indications of COM settings not matched. Have you verified the baud rate, parity, and stop bits?
