Use RS232 (scales) as keyboard input on Mac

Viewed 21

I have a set of scales which use RS232 to input weights to shipping software.

I am looking to use this data in Excel on Mac, basically using the device as a keyboard or in a similar way to a barcode scanner, in that the weight it sent over RS232 only when a button is pressed, with a line return at the end.

I have searched high and low and can't find an equivalent of 232key for Mac!

Using Screen in terminal, I am able to see the data I need, so I am basically looking for a way for macOS to recognise this device as a keyboard in the same way a barcode scanner does.

Thanks!
