Serial Protocol Descriptions

If a carriage return is received before a command string is
complete, the Performer will display ERR P for about half a
second in the status display. ERR P will also be displayed on
receipt of parity/overrun, checksum, or syntax errors.

Command Strings

Commands, , must consist of exactly
characters forming a string of zero or more commands. Each
command must consist of a single character identifying
the command, followed by any required by that
command. The following command characters and data are
supported.

Status response

Except for the S command, all of the above are sent by the
controller to the Performer. The S command is sent by Performer
to the controller in response to a Q (Query for status) command.
Performer generates a response to the Q command only.

The R command (Reset) causes Performer to initialize just as if
power had been turned off, then on. No data should follow the R
command.
