Hi,

>>
but where/when is it done?
It seems to me that the NEMA strings I am receiving are incomplete or
fragmented. Should I parse it out as it comes into the buffer one character
at a time or get a larger segment of the string and then parse it out?

The simple way is to concatenate data in the OnComm event. When you have
one (or more) complete sentences, then parse the data out. Each sentence is
terminated by a CRLF, so parsing is pretty simple. Just remember to clean
up the string buffer that you use to concatenated data, after it has been
parsed.
