Sending ASCII Commands via ADAMView

This document provides code to open a COM port and send ASCII commands from ADAMView's Basic Script component. The code creates an MSComm object to open COM port 2 with 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. It then sends the ASCII command stored in a tag, waits for a response, and outputs the response.
