1st, thank you all for the numerous & continuous helpful responses.
This new application involves a piece of equipment that reads bar code, a
RTD, and potentially another sensor, then combines all readings, stores
them, & later send data to a computer via RS232, (USB optional).  Other
peripherals include a keypad, module LCD and thermal printer.  I don't know
if the "wedge" type scanner offers similar codes than those of a PC Keyboard
referred to before as "KBD scan codes"  I could HW interface this easily.
Decoding this type of stream is easy as well.  This approach would be my
"code concept" or conceptual design technique. (decode bar code to ASCII).
many tx, {slewrate}
