Remote Bulk Status query 

A single command can be sent to query the complete status of the unit.  As new features are 
regularly added to this unit, the length of the response will grow.  In order to help maintain 
compatibility, all new settings will be added to the end of the bulk status response.  Remote control 
software should therefore be written so that longer responses will not cause the control software to 
malfunction
