    Hi,

    You have to read data into a buffer (append new data as it arrives), and
    parse out of that buffer until some known terminating character is found. I
    suspect that this would be a carriage return, but your documentation will
    tell you.
    remember to clear the buffer that you are parsing from after you have read
    the barcode.
