The first question is to find out what kind of interface it takes. If
it's a TCP/IP socket, it would be pretty easy (assuming, of course, it's
compatible with your PC). But if it's something else like a COM port,
it can be much harder.
So start by looking up the technical specs on the units you're
considering.
