Returns the oldest 5 unread stored statistics entries in the reply format: {CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-
body{CR}Sub-body{CR}Sub-body, where:
Sub-body= ddmmyyhhmmssaaa.abbb.bccc.cdd.ddefghhh.hiii.i
ddmmyy=day/month/year
hhmmss=hour:minute:second
aaa.a=Operating Temperature (e.g., +40.0)
bbb.b=Amp Temperature (e.g., +40.0)
ccc.c=RF Power output
dd.dd=Attenuation Setting
e=Amp On/Off
f =Mute On/Off
g=Online/Offline Status
hhh.h=LNB Current (mA)
iii.i=BUC Tuning Voltage
NOTE: If there are less than 5 entries to be retrieved, the remaining positions are padded with zeros. If there are
no new entries, the response is RNS*.
