HINTS FOR WRITING YOUR OWN SOFTWARE

If you write your own program, the host computer must give the meter the
D command to activate data transmission.

The following program is an example of a BASIC program that gets a single
reading from the meter:

10 OPEN  "COM1:  1200, N, 7, 2, RS, CS, DS, CD"
   AS #2

20 A$ = "D"

30 PRINT #2, A$

40 IN$ = INPUT$(14, #2)

50 PRINT IN$

60 CLOSE #2

70 END
