So here's my first question... I have a real 757 MCP. I have been looking over the CS 757 SDK and I can't seem to tell for sure whether or not it will allow me to WRITE a numeric value from the digits on the real MCP to a value in the CS 757 MCP. This includes the IAS/MACH, HDG, V/S, and ALT windows.

All values on the software MCP are results of its internal calculations. You cant (well you could but you shouldn't) just overwrite the numbers by some random ones from an external hardware.

By the same token, can it go the other way? Does the SDK give me the capability to read the value of the digits on the MCP?

Yes. And this is the way to go if you wish to synchronize the hardware and software MCP. Given that the software is always a master (main and self-sufficient unit), the hardware is a servant (just an extra input-output interface).
