MCA Mode Command:

Command name

CMD_SET_MODE

Description

Depending on the value of the first parameter (mod):
MODE_MCA

= 0

MODE_MCS

= 1

the command set MMCA to the required mode by activating the previous specified setup parameter.
The command will be ignored and responded with a error messages, if a measurement is still
running.
