transfer waveforms into PC by Max232

hello guy

I'm developing a GLCD oscilloscope project that I found online and I have done it successfully!

I want to transfer the data or waveforms into PC by using MAX232 but I have never used Max232 before!
I have interfaced the PIC to Max232 but I really don't know what I need to do to transmit that data and display it on PC!

Can you help me by guidance, example codes and the steps I should follow ?

Thank you

Here are instructions for downloading and installing a Terminal
program called TeraTerm. This program runs on your PC and
sends and receives serial data to/from the PIC.

Here is the CCS FAQ article on RS-232 problems:

Here is a schematic of a MAX232 circuit:

Note that if you're using a MAX232A, then you should use 0.1 uF
capacitors, instead of the 1 uF caps.

This thread discusses how to send an array of bytes to the PC.
