Using the MG Command to Configure Terminals
The MG command can be used to configure a terminal. Any ASCII character can be sent by using the
format {^n} where n is any integer between 1 and 255.
Example:
MG {^07} {^255}
sends the ASCII characters represented by 7 and 255 to the bus.

return and line feed. The format of the returned data can be changed using the Position Format (PF),
and Leading Zeros (LZ) command. For a complete description of interrogation commands, see chapter
