Notes
In the earlier model WeatherStation, the PB100, fields
<1> and <4> in the reply to
this command contained the 12-character part number and serial number fields,
respectively. In the model PB200, the part number and serial number fields have been
expanded to 32 characters to harmonize them with their NMEA 2000® equivalents.
Because this would have caused this sentence to exceed the 82-character NMEA 0183
limit, these fields in the PB200 must be read using the $PAMTC,QPS command.
