5.4 Command and Response Characters
The execution of a command string follows a left-to-right execution of each command followed by the
reporting of a result code for the entire string.
The ASCII character set (CCITT T.50 International Alphabet 5, American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) is used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low-order 7 bits of each
character are used for commands or parameters; the high-order bit is ignored. Upper case characters are
equivalent to lower case characters.
