+\subsection{Serial Connections}
+This object allows to send arbitrary strings to a serial port in the SINQ
+hardware setup system. This means a message is packaged and forwarded to  to 
+the Macintosh serving the port. And data is read back again from there. This
+facility has been devised in order to write environment device drivers in
+the macro language and as help for SICS instrument managers. 
+
+In contrast to the many SICS objects this object is defined for the Tcl
+interpreter. This is because it is in use within the psish Tcl interpreter
+as well. There is only one function, SerialInit, which adds the serial
+command to the SICS interpreter.

+  This object adds the serial command to the Tcl-interpreter within SICS.
+  Furthermore the commands sr1-sr6 are added as predefined names for 
+  possible connections.
