RED=x MBT
1
byte,
value of 0,1,
or 2
Command or Query.
Controls redundancy state, where:
0=Off
1=Enables redundancy using single base unit
2=Enables redundancy using dual base units
Example: RED=1
RED= (message OK)
RED? (received OK,
but invalid arguments
found)
RED* (message OK,
but not permitted in
current mode)
RED? RED=x
(same format as
command
arguments)
