*TST?
Runs a set of standard tests to confirm the device is operating correctly, these tests are also
performed at start up. Returns ‘OK’ or ‘FAIL’ followed by a list of errors that occurred, each on a
new line.
CONFig:MODE BOOT
Configures the card for boot loader mode (to update the firmware), requires an update utility on
the PC.
CONFig:MESSages [SHORt|USER]
CONFig:MESSages?
Gets or sets the mode for messages that are returned to the user’s terminal
Short

HyperTerminal or similar and manually typed commands
CONFig:TERMinal SCRIPT

system. Characters sent from the PC are not echoed by the device and a <CR><LF> is sent after
the cursor to force a flush of the USART buffer.
