>Hi : I just got a time attendant clock and I am trying to communicate with it. The manual says for example if I want to activate the buzzer,
>I have to send the following command trough the serial port ( I know how to do that). Unit Id (1) in Integer format, the word BZZR in ASCII format. Does anyone knows what integer format means.

Integer is a four-byte number. So your integer should look like this:
first three bytes should contain zeros, the last byte should contain 1 (chr(1))
