Open a tcp socket and continuously read the stream in a non-working way. Items in the stream are seperated by a cartridge return. Use regex to remove the non numeric characters but allowing the decimal point from the item and add each cleaned item to a public queue named rawData.

function parseData(data) {
  // regex /[^\d.-]/g
  data = data.replace(/[^\d.-]/g, '');
  rawData.push(data);
}

var net = require('net');

var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(3000, '127.0.0.1', function() {
  console.log('Connected');
  client.write('Hello, server! Love, Client.');
});

client.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log('Received: ' + data);
  parseData(data);
  client.destroy(); // kill client after server's response
});

client.on('close', function() {
  console.log('Connection closed');
});
