Once the computer and device are communicating correctly, it is still possible to get incorrect data if the data is formatted by the device in one way and interpreted by the computer in another or vice versa. The easiest way to get things working is to instruct the device to send data in ASCII, with CR/LF terminating each data item. However, the fastest way to exchange data is to do so in binary. Read the "General Input and Output" section carefully to determine how data is sent and how it is interpreted when it is received. As with communications parameters, it is important to set both the computer and the device to the same data format.
