3.7 Serial Commands. Commands are not case sensi-
tive and must end with any combination of Carriage Re-
turn (CR), Line Feed (LF) or CRLF. A response code is
returned after sending a command. See Table 1 for a list
of the response codes and Tables 2, 3 and 4 for a list of
the serial commands.
3.8 Query Command. The Q command returns the pre-
sent state of the 409C non-volatile parameters. See Ta-
bles 2 and 3 for a description of each of the parameters.
An example of the data returned by the Q command is as
follows:
