Serial Port Communication

I tested two thing about Serial port communication. One is to send data from Arduino to PC(Mac). The other is opposite, sending data from PC(Mac) to Arduino.
 
 In the first case, I tried two sensors. At the first, I used potentiometer, then I used MPU-6050 Accelerometer. Both case had a switch which connected with digital 2. So the data form I sent was the following.

124,321,0

213,345,1

After 2 tests, I challenged that sent data from Processing to Arduino. This was pretty simple. I just sent 0 or 1. This case is more difficult that previous tests because Processing is always running to send data, so that I can’t open Serial Monitor to check data from Processing. According to the lecturer, Jeff, there isn’t easy way to check data. What he suggested were followings.
