Hi,

It might be possible, it might not be possible. The answer and the solution depends on the structure of the application window you wish to extract the text from. If you are able to provide any information about that window - maybe a screen shot at least, we may be able to give you some ideas.

Can you quote the make/model of pH meter? If it's a simple serial data interface you may be able to read the value directly from the instrument.
