   • Adapter state code word 155 sets all ports to read, 128 sets them all to write
     • So, Use the 'E' command to set the port parameters and make sure that port 1 is configured with code word 128.
     • Then tell the tester program to count up to 100000 with a delay of 1ms, using the 'C' command.
