Serial.WriteInteger, Serial.WriteLong, Serial.WriteString), although I must
confess I was not always sure how to use these commands to set the serial port

adding a port device and with/without adding a serial device.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the Magstim Rapids, since they are triggered via the parallel port, but somehow
I cannot manage to get a trigger through the serial port. Is there anyone out
there using the new Magstim SuperRapids together with E-prime (or anyone else
who might have an idea as to what I am doing wrong)?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
