SIS Control

Host-to-Unit Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the
unit executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from
the unit to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals

the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
