The sim4100_func=xpoint keyword is used to parse un		solicited point status change
messages sent by Simplex devices. For simulation pu		rposes it a wrbc version of this

Appendix A.7. Driver Stats

Appendix A.7.1. How the Driver counts bytes and messages received and transmitted.

"Ack" messages sent/received by the driver in respo	nse to read/write messages are
NOTcountedasmessages. However,thesinglebyte	producedbythesemessagesis
includedinthebytecount.
ThedriverdoesnotcountDLLlayermessagesasmes	sages.

ThedrivercountsbytesattheDLLlayer.Thebyte countincludesthebytesthatwrap applicationlayermessages,acksandtheportsuper visionandresponsesmessages. The driver counts messages at the application layer .. This means that if you use
