ID
The ID command allows the user to change the @ or @@ ID command character
to any printable ASCII character. The new ID command character must immediately
follow the semi-colon without any intervening spaces. If the double ID character
command is issued, the ID character will default back to '@'.
The @ and @@ ID command can be disabled by not including a character
following the semicolon. It can be re-enabled again by issuing the ID command with a
valid character.
If you anticipate that the data part of an OUTPUT or SEND command may
contain the presently programmed ID character, it should be disabled.
