Status Commands
Status commands are used to request status information from the recorder. When the
recorder receives a status command, it sends the corresponding status information.
Note
The /[ ] parameter specifies any one ID number, and can be omitted when only one
recorder is connected or when the target is the recorder with ID = 0. When performing
synchronous operation, the master is ID = 0 and the slave is ID = 1.
