DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The ECHO_OFF command causes the SmartMotor™ channel 0 COM port to stop echoing. This
is the default power-up state of any SmartMotor. No incoming channel 0 characters are
retransmitted.
In order to automatically detect and differentiate between multiple motors on a serial daisy-
chain cable, the ECHO state can be alternately turned on and off to ensure the motors are
properly addressed.
NOTE: It is not possible to maintain communications on a serial chain without
issuing ECHO.
EXAMPLE:
ECHO_OFF 'Remove echo from channel 0
EIGN(W,0) 'Make all onboard I/O inputs
ZS 'Clear errors
