Response Strings 

 

Typical: [Attention] [Unit#] [data ...data] [cr] [lf] 

 

232-STA status response strings contain ASCII characters similar to those used for the same functions in 

command strings. An ASCII 'carriage return' and ‘line feed' follow each response string. Functions shown as N/A 

are not applicable; characters will appear in status strings as lower-case x.
