I have a DL-6 and a device that sends 32 bytes of data every second. The data is hexidecimal; therefore it is not ASCII. The help section says that Port 2 can be defined as a non sequence for user protocols. The only examples of user protocols are ASCII characters, but I am receiving hexidecimal bytes. I tied to use the AIN command to read my data, but it never sees any of the data because none of it looks like ASCII characters. I do not have the option to change the incoming device to be ASCII. Therefore, is there another command that I can use to read non ASCII data coming into port 2:)?

Not that I am aware of. You will probably have to use the F0-CP128. It is made to do communications with and can handle a lot more variability than Port 2 of the DL06.
