TSC (Terminal Status Change)
Use the TSC query to determine if the status of the terminal has changed since it
was last polled. If any of the parameters listed in the RCS or RUS queries have
changed as a result of user front panel operations or remote operations, or if any
new fault conditions occur, the TSC command returns YES. The TSC query then
continues to return YES until any of the following queries are received: RCS, RUS,
RAS, PACRCS, PACRUS, or PACRAS.
