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.
Note: <Null><CR> is a
special command that
can be used as the
initial command to
the probe after it is
turned on.
