command after a string has been loaded.
2 Clear loaded command. This clears out the command
buffer.
3 Repeat last command. This command does the same

Multi-Frame Start Message, Type 3
This frame type lets the pump know that the next message will be longer than the
8-byte maximum for each frame. Subsequent frames will follow to complete the

This frame type is used to identify a frame in the middle of a multi-frame message.
The last frame of a multi-frame message for action commands must be type 1. The

will be type 6.
NOTE There is no type 5 frame.
Report/Answer Commands, Type 6
