LW2 Protocol Description
The protocol description hereinafter stands for Lightware protocol. The commands can be sent to the device

The receiver accepts commands surrounded by curly brackets - { } - and responds data surrounded by
round brackets - ( ) - only if a command was successfully executed. All input commands are converted to
uppercase, but respond commands can contain upper and lower case letters as well.
