    @segtteee Then you should learn how to do it.
    Where does the user select the port? Is it a QComboBox? Something else?

      @segtteee Then just go to the documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#currentText-prop
      Change

      mSerialport->setPortName("/dev/ttyUSB0");
      

      to

      mSerialport->setPortName(ui->comboBox->currentText()); // Change the name of the combobox if it's called differently in your code
      

      Really easy, isn't it? :-)

        I modified the port name as you told me. I also changed baudrate and databite equally, but here I get an error.
        "" no matching function for call to ‘QSerialPort::setBaudRate(QString)’
        mSerialport->setBaudRate(ui->comboBox_baudrate->currentText()); ""
        Can I change only the port name?

          If you want to hardcode all values in code, why do you put comboboxes in ui?

            @segtteee See the documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qserialport.html#baudRate-prop
            setBaudRate() takes an integer not a string.
            See again documentation to find out how to convert a string to an integer: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#toInt

            mSerialport->setBaudRate(ui->comboBox_baudrate->currentText().toInt());

              I understand that the port name is a string, and baudrate is a number, so toint is an integer, but databits is a number, why not toint? And paritybits is a character, but it should not be used.

                I don't understand. If it is a number then convert it to a number like baud rate.

                "And paritybits is a character, but it should not be used" - don't know what you mean. If it should not be used then don't use it.

                  it mean
                  port name = string so currentText()
                  baud rate = integer so currentText().toint()

                  data bits = integer so ??
                  Is not the toint() correct for the data bits? but error occured

                    @segtteee Could you please show real code and the error message?
                    DataBits is an enum, so you can do something like:

                    DataBits dataBits;
                    if (ui->dataBits.currentText() == "Data5")
                        dataBits = DataBits::Data5;
                    else if ...

                            @segtteee First, please read what I write more carefully, second if you get an error please post it.
                            This is wrong:

                            if (ui->comboBox_databits->currentText() == "Data8")
                                mSerialport->setDataBits("Data8") ;
                            

                            As I wrote above setDataBits takes an enum not a string - why do you try to pass a string?
                            You should really read documentation.
                            Here again the code I already posted before:

                            DataBits dataBits;
                            if (ui->dataBits.currentText() == "Data5")
                                dataBits = DataBits::Data5;
                            else if ..
                            ...
                            // new
                            mSerialport->setDataBits(dataBits) ;

                                  "DataBits dataBits; " is not written . what mean "DataBits dataBits;"?
                                  I read the docummets and see "QSerialPort::Data8"
                                  so I write
                                  "if (ui->comboBox_databits->currentText() == "Data8")
                                  mSerialport(QSerialPort::Data8); "
                                  but error occured

                                  @segtteee said in How can I see and storage the data from device in QT?:

                                  mSerialport(QSerialPort::Data8);

                                  I'm pretty sure thats not a valid constructor of QSerialPort and I'm even more sure that not want you want to do in this case, anyway.

                                      This does not make any sense:

                                      mSerialport(QSerialPort::Data8);
                                      

                                      must be

                                      mSerialport->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8);
                                      

                                      Also if you directly call mSerialport->setDataBits(QSerialPort::Data8); inside if then you do not need dataBits variable...
