Host-to-Interface Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required
to begin or end a command sequence. When the PC1 determines that a command is valid,
it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the
interface to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =
the end of the response character string. (A string is one or more characters.)
