Serial Port Connectivity

FrontRunner always communicates over Ethernet with the Visionscape
Camera HE1600T; however, the Serial port is fully supported by the Job in the
form of allowing Serial triggers and Serial ASCII reporting output via the
Acquire, Digital Input and Formatted Output Tools.
The serial string(s) are formatted using the *printf C syntax*. Special characters
can be used and are summarized in Table 2–3.
