Looks like its an absolutely plain USB to serial converter that is spitting back codes in straight ASCII. Hooray! What you need is a very simple application that reads the device /dev/ttyUSB0 and when it sees a string (i guess \r or \n terminated) it adds this in the box in your application. What form box are you trying to get it into? is it an existing application? Possible to use some an X automation perl library to get focus on your existing form window and box and inject a keyboard event of your number, but this seems over complex.
