Menu. You can go directly to either of these menus from
the main menu. Neither of these menus have any control

• Replies Sent—the number of individual reply strings
sent by this unit.
• Last Packet Type—Type of command most recently
received, usually Operation.
• Last Packet Address—Type of address on the last
packet received:
• Global—sent to more than one unit, either all of
them or a group of them that included this one.
• This Cube Alone—sent the this unit exclusively,
and this unit should have sent a response.
• Not This Cube—sent to another unit or units, but
not this one.
• Not Addressed—command had no address, so
only the first unit in the serial string could have
acted on the command.
• Most Recent—The hex and ascii data most recently
received. This may not be a complete command string,
but just the tail end of it.
