# Address@ Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,… |Command_2
Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,… |Command_3
Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,… |…CR
Device message format:
Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter
~ device_id@ message CR LF
Device long response (Echoing command):
Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter
~ device_id@ command SP
