Syntax

The command string consists of four bytes. The first byte is the start of message byte. The start of message byte is always the “!” character. The second byte is the address byte. This byte allows each unit to have a unique address. The factory default address is the ASCII “0” (zero) character. The next two bytes are the command characters. These bytes are used to specify which command the module will execute. The read A/D and digital I/O commands require an additional data byte.
