Defines the Emission Control Mode (
→ 29):
AUTO = emission on/off automatically controlled by the gauge
MAN = emission on/off controlled via interfaces.
7)
Defines the Filament Control Mode (
→ 29):
AUTO = Selection of filament automatically controlled by the gauge
MAN = Selection of filament controlled via interfaces.

The "Select filament x" command can be sent any time but is only executed if
the gauge is in the "Emission OFF" state.
