+Description:
+
+NxFloat is a version of the TestSerial application modified to use
+floating point numbers. It tests communication over the serial port
+and nx_float support. The java application sends packets to the serial
+port at 1Hz: the packet contains an incrementing counter. When the
+mote application receives a counter packet, it displays the bottom
+three bits on its LEDs. (This application is similar to
+RadioCountToLeds, except that it operates over the serial port.)
+Likewise, the mote also sends packets to the serial port at 1Hz, these
+packets contain a sequence number multiplied by 3.2. Upon reception of
+a packet, the java application prints the counter's value to standard
+out.
+
+Java Application Usage:
+  java TestSerial [-comm <packetsource>]
+
+  If not specified, the <packetsource> defaults to sf@localhost:9002 or
+  to your MOTECOM environment variable (if defined).
+
+Tools:
+
+Known bugs/limitations:
+
+None.
