ASCII Data Mode
Sets the mode in which data values are interpreted to be ASCII. Only unsigned integer values
(0 – 65535) are allowed in this mode and the data values are terminated with a carriage return
(ASCII 13) or linefeed (ASCII 10). In this mode the Flame “echoes” the command and data
values back out the RS-232 port.
Command Syntax:
aA
Response:
ACK or NAK
Default value
N/A
Note
The command requires that the string “aA” be sent without any CR or LF. This is
an attempt to insure that this mode is not entered inadvertently.
A legible response to the Version number query (v command) indicates the
Flame is in the ASCII data mode.

values (0 – 65535) are allowed in this mode with the MSB followed by the LSB.

Default at power up – not changed by Q command

The command requires that the string “bB” be sent without any CR or LF. This is
an attempt to insure that this mode is not entered inadvertently.
