*               The function returns to your application if the buffer doesn't empty within the specified
*               timeout.  A timeout value of 0 means that the calling function will wait forever for the
*               buffer to empty out.  The character to send is first inserted into the Tx buffer and will
*               be sent by the Tx ISR.  If this is the first character placed into the buffer, the Tx ISR
*               will be enabled.
* Arguments   : 'ch'    is the COMM port channel number and can either be:
*                           COMM1
*                           COMM2
*               'c'     is the character to send.

*                       specify a timeout of 0, the function will wait forever for the buffer to empty.
* Returns     : COMM_NO_ERR      if the character was placed in the Tx buffer
*               COMM_TX_TIMEOUT  if the buffer didn't empty within the specified timeout period
*               COMM_BAD_CH      if you specify an invalid channel number
