The FGV series of force gauges has the ability to recog-
nize and respond to various commands from outside
peripherals. If for instance the gauge receives a legitimate
command from a PC, it will respond by sending back the
same code indicating to the PC that the command was
recognized. If for example the command is a request for
average data output, it will send the data and the code NA
etc. If the gauge recognizes an error while it is receiving a
command, an error symbol is transmitted back to the PC
indicating the exact nature of the error.
