counters in all the programs. The retest and reset functions do not require
the second colon or program number. They may be omitted when sending
a retest or reset command.
End of String Character – [CR]
[CR] stands for a carriage return character. It is not a printable character. It
tells a computer to return to the start of the current line and is normally
used with a line feed character. Pressing the Enter key on a keyboard
enters a carriage return and a line feed. If using HyperTerminal, pressing
the Enter key will finish the command.
