The macro language currently does not offer serial I/O support but 
ImageJ 1.37c, courtesy of Johannes Schindelin, adds a call() function 
that, in effect, allows new macro functions to be added. The call 
function calls a public static method, passing an arbitrary number of 
String parameters, and returning a String. Here is an example that 
calls methods with no arguments, one argument and two arguments:

   call("JavaClass.method0");
   call("JavaClass.method1", "arg1");
   call("JavaClass.method2", "arg1", "arg2");

And this is what the methods in JavaClass.java look like:

    public static String method0() {
        return "method00";
    }

    public static String method1(String arg1) {
        return "method1"+"("+arg1+")";
    }

    public static String method2(String arg1, String arg2) {
        return "method2"+"("+arg1+", "+arg2+")";
    }
