Syntax
As mentioned earlier, the command string consists of four bytes.
The first byte is the start of message byte. The start of message
byte is always the “!” character. The second byte is the address byte.
This byte allows each unit to have a unique address (useful in RS-
485 networks). Since the 232OPSDA uses RS-232 communications,
this byte is the ASCII “0” (zero) character and cannot be changed.
The next two bytes are the command characters. These bytes are
used to specify which command will be executed by the module.
Some commands require a fifth byte, a data byte.
