Given the port numbers of two COM ports this program will exchange their
addresses. On some note book computers this is needed to be able to use
some software.

4.5.3 View201 Lab Display Software
View201 is a program that enables programming and viewing the
magnetometer and analog data from one to three CM221 counter modules. It
was written primarily as a factory debug/test utility and is provided as a tool to
help installation and testing of the counter(s) in the field. The output can be
viewed in both raw text and in graphics mode. In addition the output data can
be logged to disk if desired. The program defaults to using Com port #1,
although Com port #2 can be used be adding " /COM2" to the command line
after "View201".
Upon startup the program listens to the output data stream from the counter(s)
and synchronizes to the output baud rate. The raw output data is then
displayed in a data text window. Along the top is a status bar showing the
condition of the serial port and the serial input buffer.
View201 defaults to using COM port #1. COM port #2 can be selected by
typing "View201 /COM2" and <ENTER> at the DOS prompt.
After the magnetometer has warmed up the first comma delimited field should
be showing a stable magnetometer reading. The default counter output format
includes the 4 character signal level in the next field (9999 full scale). Other
data may be present as well depending on output configuration. If more than
one magnetometer is daisy chained together there will be other magnetometer
data field embedded in the output stream.
Commands can be sent to the counter module(s) at anytime. There are many
commands that control the CM-221 which are detailed in the magnetometer
manual. As an example, the command "A0000" followed by a carriage return
turns off analog channel 0 (signal level) in counter 00: Each character is sent
