Peter,
    I am still trying to get more information from the manufacturers, 
but they did send this through to me. I am not going to have time to

anyway. My VendorID is -1 rather than 1, but....................

Regards
    Jon

HID Device 
*******************************************************************************
         VendorID =1
         ProductID=0


Use API function 
*******************************************************************************
         SetFeature ()
         GetFeature ()


Tx Data (use SetFeature function) 
*******************************************************************************
         [5][0][len][ask.......]         -response data
         ask:    [Q][1][D13]
                 [I][D13]
                 [F][D13]
         ex:     Ask
                 TxData=> 
[5][0][3][Q][1][D13][0][0]............. ( Feature Report Byte Length )
                                 "Q1"

         [5][2][len][ask.......]         -don't response data => 
Control or Command
         ask:    [T][D13]
                 ........
         ex:     Ask
                 TxData=> 
[5][2][2][T][D13][0][0]................ ( Feature Report Byte Length )
                                 "T"


Rx Data (use GetFeature function) 
*******************************************************************************
         ex:     after Tx "Q1"
                 RxData=>        [(][2][0][8][.][4][ 
][1][4][0].......... ( Feature Report Byte Length )
                                 "(208.4 140.0 208.4 034 59.9 2.05 
35.0 00110000"


steps 
*******************************************************************************
         1.Get HID Device ( VendorID =1,ProductID=0).
         2.use setfeature function to Tx Data.
         3.use getfeature function to get data.
