In C I could create a structure and go from there. I'm new to Ada and need help on how to setup the data. I suspect I could use some sort of a record once I setup the structure in Ada to pass the data. example data word bit function remarks 1 2-0 command logic 001 3 mode logic 0 - normal logic 1 - diagnostic 7-4 spare etc.etc 8 7-0 checksum sum of above message bytes i'll be sending data across a serial port and need to change the parity bit on the fly. from MarkParity to SpaceParity. So I'll send word 1 - default parity bit MarkParity then change to SpaceParity for the rest of the data. help. already wrote fully functional GUI is C but now need to do the same in Ada and have no idea where to start.
