Response Strings
Typical: [Attention] [Unit#] [data ...data] [cr] [lf]
IP-HDVR status response strings contain ASCII characters similar to those used for the same functions in
command strings. An ASCII 'carriage return' and ‘line feed' follow each response string. Functions shown as
NA are not applicable or available in the IP-HDVR; characters will appear in status strings as lower-case x.
