Returns a string, containing the following information:

– serial number

All parameters are separated by commas.
Note: In times of company mergers and acquisitions, it is a good idea to
check the name of the device, not the manufacturer's name which may
change between software updates. This does not preclude any name
changes at Aeroflex but rather applies to instrumentation in general.
