In case that the control command is accepted by the measuring instrument (the characters ST follow the <STX>, correct address, correct block check), then the command will be executed. It is allowed to replace <ETX>[BCC1][BCC2] by <CR>. Thermo Fisher Scientific Model 5030 SHARP Monitor Instruction Manual B-11...
