• The 4 byte word is a 32bit unsigned integer?


• The 4 bytes come in the sequence first MSB, then yadda, yadda, LSB?


• Are all bits valid in all 4 bytes for each of the CPM* and CPS* commands, or is there a clipoff of the high bits in any command, as is currently needed in the CPS command?


• How can one distinguish between counters offering 2 bytes from those offering 4 bytes?
  I had expected the GETVER command to deliver the essential signature, but if a counter with firmware 1.18 delivers only '1.1' then this is not helping? It will be a nightmare if not properly done!

Now it works, and the resulting string is:
Version: b'GMC-500+Re 1.1'

---

print("Version: {}".format(getVersion()))

ser = serial.Serial(my_port, my_baudrate, timeout=my_timeout) # open serial port

# add next 5 lines
def getVersion():
    ser.write(b'<GETVER>>')
    srec = ser.read(14)
    return srec
print("Version: " + getVersion())
