7.2.1 General Information
Communication takes place according to the master/slave principle. In order
to ensure that a request and response are uniquely assigned to one another,
commands can only be sent to the constant temperature equipment once a
response to the previous command has been received.
All available read and write commands as well as the meaning of any error
messages that may occur are presented below. Note the following informa-
tion relating to syntax and sequencing when using these commands:
Numerical values are provided in fixed point format; numbers with up to
4 places in front of the decimal point and up to 2 places after the decimal
point are permitted:

Error messages are output with the syntax "ERR_X":
ERR = Identification as an error message
X = Error number (whole number without leading zero, maximum of
4 digits)
Space " " and underscore "_" can be used synonymously.
Commands from an external source must always end with CR, CRLF or
LFCR. The response from the constant temperature equipment always
ends with CRLF. Meaning of the abbreviations:
CR = Carriage Return (Hex: 0D)
LF = Line Feed (Hex: 0A)
In order to ensure that a request and response are uniquely assigned
to one another, commands can only be sent to the constant tem-
perature equipment once a response to the previous command has been
received.
Example with set point transfer of 30.5 °C to the constant temperature
equipment.
