3. RS-232 Serial Control

Use a straight thru M/F DB9 serial cable to connect the unit to the PC.
Only the TX, RX and GND pins are implemented in the connector. Set
port operates at 9600 baud, no parity and 1 stop bit. Control codes are 6
bytes long. The unit echoes the commands back. “Ready State” values
in the table below are sent back for those commands that require
excessive processing time. So either insert a wait after those
commands, or wait until you receive the Ready State response.
