INITIALIZATION COMMANDS
Initialization Commands Group 1--
Commands @ & ?
Initialize communications and read version. There are 2 commands that are typically used to
initiate communications with the STC-2000A. The @ command will request the software version and is a
good command to start off with. The ? command resets a power fail condition. This is used after any
power lost condition to reset the power lost status of the STC-2000A.

[RZCD_AOK]AAAN.M/xxxx
S4 module software revision information for each of the four modules (1..4 respectively).
The N.M is the revision code, the xxxx is the checksum for the firmware, and
the AAA field identifies generic module identity.
For @9
[RZCD_AOK]UIFBASE_NUM
UIFBASE_NUM is a decimal number which defines the minimum UIFC version base
desired for use with SCUP. Returns decimal number, encoded version 02.12
would return 212. This insures that the proper version compatibility exists
between the SCUP and UIFC boards.
For @10..@16
