Does anyone know if its possible to get the serial object not to echo commands send to it when you bang it to read it?

I send lots of data to the physical device I'm interacting with then I need to read back status information from the device.In addition to this status information the serial port also sends back all the data I sent to the serial object and it is a nightmare trying to parse it all out. Lots of data needs to travel quickly in both directions and having all the "writes" clogging up all my "reads" is a big problem.

Update on this: the serial object is not echoing! I am communicating with a LED board at 234,000 baud using RS485 and the documentation for the board insisted that it was not echoing commands so I assumed that the echo then had to be coming from within the serial object. But it turns out that the USB-to-RS485 Serial adapter I am using itself echos commands back unless you reconfigure some internal jumpers differently.

Thanks to Josh Goldberg for pointing me in the right direction
