NOTES:
1. <CR> is a carriage return (0x0D). This is the terminator character.
2. The ‘_’ used in certain defined commands represent a space character. Space
characters may be omitted from commands.
3. Invalid commands will create a response of *_SYNTX_ER.
4. GP 350 protocol response strings are the same length.
