SBI communication This is a simple ASCII interface.
Data output is configured under menu items 6.1 and 6.3:
– Manual output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items 6.1.1
and 6.1.2)
– Automatic output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items 6.1.4
and 6.1.5) at intervals defined by display updates. The number of display
