We are looking for a developer who will port an existing software utility , written in QBasic (DOS) to Windows application (32-bit) using VB .Net (2005). We will provide the source code (approx. 3000 lines), but there is no other documentation for the software.<br/>The utility communicates with an instrument over serial port, sends (hard-coded) commands and receives (limited amount of) data.<br/>The ultimate requirement is to&#160;retain existing functionality of the software, with some minor modifications and improvements after getting the fundamental parts to work.<br/>Functionality of the software is divided into five, separate clearly defined tasks, which can be run one by one or all in one go.<br/>PLEASE NOTE that this project is HARDWARE RELATED and will require substantial effort at testing and commision stage!<br/>User interface is (and should stay) minimal (one form, which will be provided)&#160;consisting of basically few text boxes for input parameters, and few command buttons for selecting which tests to run. This project requires creation of a custom "gauge like" (thermometer style) control.<br/>
