CommPortNumber (Integer): Number of communication port.

OpenLCIC_WIM(CommPortNumber, Baud_Rate) Opens the specified port.

CommPortNumber (Integer): Number of communication port.

Baud_Rate (Integer): Required Baud Rate (110, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800 or 921600).

(Refer also to sections 3.3.1.2 & D.2.)

Note: Using USB, all these values of Baud_Rate are relevant (even though usually 921600 is used). However, upon using serial communication, board’s possible b/r values are limited to the range 19200-115200; please refer to section 3.3.1.2.
