Advanced Query
Command Byte : '?'
Description:
The Advanced Query feature, which is included in firmware versions 3.56 and higher, is
intended to streamline the user’s polling loop by allowing the user to construct custom
query sequences. It is a complete polling solution returning virtually any measurement
you might want.
Measurements are requested via a variable length parameter list. The length of the
response will vary according to the measurements selected. Measurements are returned
in the order specified by the user.
The syntax of an Advanced Query command is as follows:
<start character><address><‘?’><parameter 1><parameter 2>…<parameter last><end
character><check character>
