If the word is set to a value other than zero, a time delay corresponding to the
number of milliseconds entered will be placed between each character
transmitted. If the word is set to zero, the whole data packet will be transmitted
as fast as the transmit driver can function. Word 3 of the data block contains the
number of bytes present in the transmit data area to send out the ASCII port.
Words 4 to 131 contain the actual data to transmit. If the swap option is utilized,
the transmit driver will swap each byte in the words received before transmitting
them. Care should be taken if an odd number of bytes are sent by the end device
when the swap option is used. The last byte of the message may be lost.
