Low level serial # communication functions are handled by this module. In # particular this module handles: # 1. Setting a serial connection object # 2. Sending character strings to the serial port # 3. Reading characters from the serial port # 4. Formatting of FT991 commands # # This script has been tested with the following # # Python 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) # [GCC 7.3.0] on linux2 #2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 import sys, serial, time # Determine OS type and set device port accordingly.
