is range of 0.00 to 999.99 seconds.
Message Text Content
Up to 300 data characters in each command string may be sent. The Command characters
(information between and including the “>” and “<” signs) are included in this maximum.
Printable and Non- Printing ASCII codes can be used in the message string. Refer to the ASCII Code
appendix of this manual for more information on ASCII codes and the Hexidecimal value.
Non-printing characters are supported by use of a two-character command and can send a Binary

maximum length count with each pair reducing the maximum data characters by 1. Refer to the
Non-printing Character information later in this section for information on these values.
