5.2 Command Syntax
All characters sent and received are standard Ascii characters and all numbers are
decimal numbers converted to Ascii text.
All commands are sent using the following syntax:
<address><command>:<data1>,<data2>#<checksum><CR>
Where:
address is the instrument address(default =1)
command is the command string being sent
: (colon) is the data separator and is only included if data is being sent as part of the
command (See Command Details below to see if a command requires data or
not)
data1 is the first data parameter, if required.
data2 is the second data parameter, if required.
# is the Checksum separator, sent only if optional checksum is included
checksum is an Ascii checksum of all characters up to the # character. The checksum is
optional, commands sent without the checksum(and checksum separator,) are
also valid.
CR is a carriage return, Ascii 13.
