— !: identifies the line as a response to a query;
— aaaa: is the parameter address entered with the query;
— bb: is the number of payload bytes in hexadecimal code - for example, 1F for the
— XXXXXX: is the significant status information queried;
— cc: is a check sum (technically an inverted XOR of all bytes returned, excluding the
— <CR> is for carriage return.
