2.11 REMOTE COMMANDS
A typical command is made up of a key word and a parameter.
A space in a command or response will be indicated as <space> in subsequent definitions.
A vertical bar " | " dictates a choice of one element from a list. For example: <A|B> indicates that either A or B
can be selected, but not both.
Multiple commands cannot be concatenated within the same character string and any text appearing after a
termination character will be ignored by the control software.
Commands are case sensitive and should always be UPPER CASE.
All command and queries must be terminated with a Line Feed Character, indicated as <LF> in subsequent
definitions.
