Message Format
A PERIPHERAL II message begins with a command abbreviation, followed
by one or more fields containing the data characters listed above. Fields are
not separated by spaces. The message ends with a carriage return.
PERIPHERAL II protocol ignores the ASCII characters for line feed and
space within the body of a command.
Note
When a peripheral encounters a command with an unknown keyword, it
should ignore the reminder of the message and go on to parse the next
message.

switcher to another. The maximum amount of advance is 7.5 fields, and the
minimum is 1.5 fields. The peripheral does not respond to this command.
