Header Data From Comm Port

[datametsa]

Data coming from the comm port has hex header information(in blue) I need, and I only could retrieve my ASCII data(in red). How could I write a script to read this header data?

Use parse() to split the two by the $ character.  The trick, of course, is if there is a $ in your binary data.  Alternatively, if the binary data is fixed length, use left() and mid() to extract the appropriate parts.
