•All command strings must be followed by the terminator character (carriage return <CR>, also known as ENTER).
•When a lower case character is present in an example it represents an option.
•Character Description Valid Inputs:
a RS-485 Address (hexadecimal 0-9, A-F) 01 - DF
m Most Significant Digit Of Mantissa 1 - 9 d Decimal Digit 0 - 9
e Exponent 0 - 5
u Unit Of Pressure T, M, or P
, Command Separator (comma) N/A
<CR> Command Terminator (carriage return) N/A
