Example:
MG {^07} {^255}
sends the ASCII characters represented by 7 and 255 to the bus.

Interrogation Commands
The DMC-2x00 has a set of commands that directly interrogate the controller. When these command
are entered, the requested data is returned in decimal format on the next line followed by a carriage
return and line feed. The format of the returned data can be changed using the Position Format (PF),
and Leading Zeros (LZ) command. For a complete description of interrogation commands, see Ch 5.
