Ranges – use && to specify a range of values, as in DS1-1&&DS1-5
Response Syntax
The general format of a command response is shown below:
The symbol <cr> represents a carriage return, and <lf> a line feed. A space is represented by
the "^" symbol. The correlation tag will be the same as the one provided in the command. If the
correlation tag was omitted from the command, then the correlation tag in the response will be
zero (0). Completion codes are described in Completion Codes on
