Page 7: Rs-232 Control Protocol
Each of the groups has one ASCII status response string containing all of the status data for that group. The current status string of a group is sent from the 232-FMA whenever a valid command for that group is received by the 232-FMA RS-232 port or front panel. A group's status may be requested (without making a change) via the RS-232 port. -
