Commands and parameters can be mixed using both verbose and terse forms. Thus the following are all equivalent:
As the response is configured via the Verbose command, it will respond to terse commands with a verbose response.
Sessions
Up to 7 RossTalk sessions can take place concurrently, each with its own unique configuration and GPI reporting
control setup. Typically the session configuration and GPI reporting control setup is done at the start of a session;
however, they can be changed at any time. When configured to send reports for GPI outputs, the GPI-8941 card will
report GPI changes from any source (any active RossTalk session, GPI485, DashBoard, GPInet sessions, etc.).
