10 CVG-724xl Communication Protocol This protocol includes two types of commands: 3 bytes and 4 bytes. In the 3 bytes command type, the scaler operates in a fast mode because it does not save the information immediately. The sent command is executed immediately, but the status of the scaler is saved in the non-volatile memory only after 30 sec of no activity.
