This command is sent by the master to request the STXplus to send the configured decimal
format. The range of returned values is 0-7 corresponding to X00., X0., X., X.X, X.XX, X.XXX,
X.XXXX, X.XXXXX respectively. The default value is 2(X.). For this example, the master requests
the format for an STXplus at address 01 which returns the format of 2(X.) and a checksum of 52.
