discussed. The program consists of a Main program and two Defined Functions.
The FNConfig_ser_port$ is used to configure serial interface. The buffering

operating environment.
The commands and queries to be executed are passed to the defined function
FNTalker$ as the string Output$. The function outputs the properly terminated
string and returns the instruments reply. The operation of the program can be
