Command/response table for advanced instructions (for the MLC 52
configuration program)
Data downloads and uploads are initiated by sending a series of hexadecimal
commands to the configuration port of the MLC. The Windows-based
configuration program uses these commands mainly to load and save driver
data and system configuration settings.
