RS-232 data commands for SBI protocol
The RS232 can be set so a bidirectional connection can be established between the indicator and the host. To
establish this connection set parameter P4 to 7, and configure setting P5 (baud) and P6 (parity) to host device.
Commands can then be sent from the host to the indicator using the following commands (ensure the letters
entered are in CAPS) (<CR> - Enter)
