 # What works and what not
 The module iec1107 can be used with a pre-defined serial port, a device serial number and a device password.
-The basic functions have been tested.
+The basic functions have been tested. Some special functions

+```
+use iec1107;#include the module
+
+my $port = Device::SerialPort->new("/dev/ttyUSB0") || die $!;#define a port with 9600@7E1
+$port->baudrate(9600);

+$port->read_char_time(0);
+$port->read_const_time(150);#was 100ms previously, this lead to race conditions
