  Haven't seen an answer yet so ...
     A similar query appeared here a few months back, from the MS-DOS
  arena; one suggestion was to use the Kermit terminal emulator to receive
  data from a microplate reader.
     In Kermit for DOS, you would use 'log session filename' for raw
  ascii capture, ensuring that 'set flow-control' and/or 'set handshake'
  are appropriate for the sending device (the plate reader).
  I presume Kermit for Mac has identical or analogous commands.

  Hope this helps,
Tom
