401, below pseudo
code can be used as a draft. The example shows a request for /#1:
mscomm1.Settings = "300,E,7,2"
mscomm1.InBufferCount = 0
mscomm1.Output = "/#1"
Do While mscomm1.OutBufferCount <> 0
Handle Windows Events
Loop
Delay for 300 ms
mscomm1.Settings = "1200,E,7,2"
mscomm1.InBufferCount = 0
mscomm1.InputLen = 1
strData = ""
While mscomm1.InBufferCount > 0
strData = strData & mscomm1.Input
Handle Windows Events

In connection with development of the concrete communication driver, above can only be used as an example of
the essential commands, whereas e.g. ”timers” and ”flags” are omitted for clarity.
