9.6 Command Set / Gauge Control Language 2 (GCL2) 

The DFG-RS5 may be controlled by an external device through the RS-232 or USB channel. The 
following is a list of supported commands and their explanations. All commands must be terminated with 
a Carriage Return character or with a Carriage Return/Line Feed combination. The indicator responses 
are always terminated with a Carriage Return/Line Feed.
