While Octave is very good at numerical analysis, it is not a complete
programming language with a large library for example for connexion.
I would suggest that you have a look at python and its libraries as a
way to manage your apparatus.
First http://pyserial.wiki.sourceforge.net/pySerial and then many
others. Python also contains many libraries to manipulate data easily
"à la octave way" (see scipy, numpy and pylab).
