		voltage of the Power Module.
VLOW		program the lower window warning level for the load voltage of the
		Power Module.
VLOW?		return the current settings for the lower window warning level of the load
		voltage of the Power Module
WHIGH		enable / disable window upper limits checks by the Power Module.
WHIGH?		return the state of the Power Module’s upper window check enable flag.
WLOW		enable / disable window lower limits checks by the Power Module.
WLOW?		return the state of the Power Module’s lower window check enable flag.
IALL?		return output current measurements of all operative Power Modules

		For their internal use (fault and warning detection), the Power Modules
		generate a new read-back value every 40 mS.
		The Main Controller is updated with new values (available for readback,
		10 times a second.

*TRG		toggles the state of the Global Output Enable Flag
ARM		program a Power Module to the Armed state in which further SET and
		PROT programming will be stored with no immediate effect of the output
		of the Power Module.
ARM?		return the state of the Power Module.
SYNC		program the Power Module’s Sync Pulse Generation Enable Event.
SYNC?		return the current Sync Pulse Generation Event for the Power Module.
TRIG		program the Power Module’s reaction to a software or hardware trigger.
TRIG?		return the current reaction to trigger for the Power Module.
TRIGER		send a global trigger (to all Power Modules).
TRIGER		send a trigger to the Power Module.
