SHOW_NEXT returns a first channel of 0 and a number of channels of 0. The SHOW_ROI
command is used to report the “first” group of channels that all have their ROI bit set.
Example Responses:
$D0100000050078<CR>
Next ROI group starts at channel 1000 and is 50 channels
long.
$D0215000150086<CR>

Returns the status of the output pulse generated initiated by SET_OUTPUT_WIDTH.
Responses:
$IT<CR>
Pulse in progress.
$IF<CR>
Pulse finished.
SHOW_PEAK
This command returns the contents of the ROI channel with the largest number of counts. An
ROI channel is a channel that has the ROI flag set. The maximum possible value is
2147483647, which is the maximum number of counts that can be stored in a 31-bit channel.
