ECHO
Description: Used to test the communication between the host and this unit. This is
useful at higher baud rates to validate a baud can be used without error.
A script can repeat the echo command continuously and verify that no
communication errors are present.
Command: echo <string>
<string> = any ASCII string. May contain spaces.
Example: echo this is a test
Response: "this is a test"
ERROR CHECK
Description: The unit maintains an error flag that is set if any error messages are
generated. This command reports the error flag value and then clears the
error flag. A test script can run an entire sequence of commands and
check at the end to make sure there were no errors instead of having to
check on a command-by-command basis.
