Configuration Strings
Configuration strings for the R2D7 are segmented into 3 parts:
* V
;
As with operating instructions, the first character is the header. This is always the
asterisk (“*”).
Next is the setting for the R2D7. The following is a table of valid commands:
V
Print Version (followed by mode: R = Radio, B = Bus)
R
Radio Mode (put system 7 in Radio mode)
B
Bus Mode (put system 7 in Bus mode)
Finally, the terminator is either a semi-colon or the “CR” character.

back to the sender. The following table describes the responses for each event in the
R2D7:
