Positive response.
Output Identity

Cc
= Two ASCII characters that describe the type of 3M™ MicroTouch™
controller.
Xxxx = Four ASCII characters that indicate a build identifier.
Parameter Set
Syntax:
<SOH>Ppds[b]<CR>
where:
p
= Parity type
N = No parity
O = Odd parity
E = Even parity
d
= Number of data bits (7 or 8).
s

additional character to the command string. Upon execution of the Parameter Set
