Note: The BP
command is provided
for backward
compatibility and
should not be used to
monitor the converter
voltage, which
always responds with
:B64N<CR>.
Note: The Identification
command, I, may
also be used as the
first command sent.
The command will
turn on the laser.
Once communication
between the probe and
the Laser Data Interface
(LDI) is established,
the return string will
be sent. Subsequent
I commands
immediately send the
return string.
Probe Commands
All probe commands return :E7 when the probe is turned off.
