Hello

You have several options here to get the data from the PC to the system,

RS232 / Serial
USB
Ethernet (advanced)

What did you have in mind.

Hi

Your best bet is to read through this if you want to use ethernet.

You will probably have to communicate via a custom TCP or UDP packet so a bit of research may be required to complete the PC side of things.
