Query only.
Returns the oldest 5 unread stored statistics entries in the reply format: {CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-
body{CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-body, where:
Sub-body= ddmmyyhhmmssaaa.abbb.bccc.cdd.ddefghhh.hiii.i
ddmmyy = day/month/year
hhmmss = hour:minute:second
aaa.a = Operating Temperature (I.E. +40.0)
bbb.b = Amp Temperature (I.E. +40.0)
ccc.c = RF Power output
dd.dd = Attenuation Setting
e = Amp On/Off
f = Mute On/Off
g = Online/Offline Status
hhh.h = LNB Current (mA)
iii.i = BUC Tuning Voltage
If there are less than 5 entries to be retrieved, the remaining positions are padded with zeros. If there are no new
entries, the response is RNS*.
