Busy, rejected message. The message was received without error, but the instrument is being
programmed from the keypad (only for requests accessing setup registers).
NOTE
When the character framing, parity, or redundancy check detects a communication error, processing of
the master's request stops. The instrument will not act on or respond to the message.
