Hi, The messages with starting with Ex seem promising. They look like they might be pitch bend messages

For instance EE 5F 6E looks like it could be moving fader #5 with with LSB 5F and MSB 6E.

I would recommend, you try sending a message like these to the the COM3 port and see if any faders move.  
The messages that start with less than 8 in the first byte look like they always show as a timeout.  
F8 looks like a MIDI sync message.  
CF 5A looks like a knob controller change.

Again, I would try sending the fader message at 9600 baud and see if anything changes. Since your unit has motorized faders, you should be able to see if they move.

I just opened a text editor and looked at the files you posted. I’m just looking for common MIDI type messages.

I saw in one of your messages you use puttytel. I installed it.
here is the setting.and here is what I get
```

```
I found a program that duplicates the com3 port (virtual serial port). this should avoid: access denied
```

```

Hi, I’m not sure you will be able to send this data with Puttytel. Puttytel is an ascii based terminal emulator and the bytes I’m seeing are really just hex representation of 8 bit binary values.

Best to open the COM3 port with MT Pro and then send the raw binary bytes from there as you would normally sent MIDI values.
