Device identification

Immediately after opening the port, the software sends the character ! and if it does not receive a response, it does so up to three times.
response must send at below format:
! DEVICE-NAME-(STRING) \n

Information to be programmed

According to the information in the HCS datasheet, 12 WORD 16-bit should be set.
The sending packet contains 25 bytes that are sent as follows:
> WORD0 WORD1 WORD2 WORD3 WORD4 WORD5 WORD6 WORD7 WORD8 WORD9 WORD10 WORD11

Sending this package does not require a response. Instead, the programmer can display the result, error or any message that is described in the following section.
