Note:
1. Check Sum: Radix complement of command sum, high byte in the beginning and
low byte in the end.
Check digit calculation method: Adding up all bytes to get sum before checking
(excluding two check digit bytes). Check digit value=Sum reversed as per digit then
add one.
Example: Save & Exit (0A 04 31 00 24 25 45 4E 44 FF) adding up to obtain the
sum: 02 5E, switch to binary (0000 0010 0101 1110), then reverse (1111 1101 1010
0001), finally add one is check digit (FD A2).
2. When Command uses character in the following data format pack (prefix excluding
“0x”) and be sent via serial port command, it should switch character to Hex of ASCII
code accordingly.
