“E” String (Error Status)
Transmitted whenever an error is detected. The E string contains an Error Code that
indicates the problem. See Error Messages on page 117 for more details.
Example:

“M” String (Measurements)
The M string is sent on a fixed interval. The interval and the string format may be
modified. When the interval is set to 0 the M string stops sending automatically, but
can be manually polled by sending the “M” command.
