I'm using Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). What I'm trying to do is get setup information from a solar inverter that is connected via com3,115200,8,and 1 data bits. I bought this inverter and there is no brand name or model #. So I'm trying to open com port and get any info that I can, to help with setup. I have very little experience writing code.

Where did you buy the inverter? Are you able to provide any information about it?thunderblaster– thunderblaster2014-01-23 17:58:23 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 17:58

Bought it from an auction. This is a hole system less li-ion batteries, display and charger. Has everything to connect to the grid. these were made for a pilot program that California electric paid for. they decommissioned them last year.user3228907– user32289072014-01-24 18:55:51 +00:00Commented Jan 24, 2014 at 18:55

Originally, I thought this would be a job for WMI, then I discovered this example, which I thought you may be able to modify:
[$port = new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM6,115200,None,8,one
$port.Open()
$port.WriteLine( "at+csq" + "`r" )
start-sleep -m 50
$port.ReadExisting()
$port.Close()][1]
