Normaly tuning of your device wich recieves the data is done from the 
computer. For that you need to have 2 way communication. My real time
program is sure to talk to the box. It for instance does a reset with the 
box when data is not comming in anymore etc.

I ame not using BMI but it might be the same with BMI.
