Events

# UNRESOLVED: unsolicited notification behavior not explicitly documented in source

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no explicit multi-step macros documented in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for:
  - restore_factory_settings
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures documented in source

Notes

Command terminator is <CR>, documented as 0x0D hexadecimal or 13 decimal. Command prefix !, query prefix ?, response prefix ~. RS-232 connector: tip TX, ring RX, sleeve ground. Bidirectional serial transmission only possible point-to-point. Command sending speed can affect operation.

Known Gaps

- "unsolicited notification behavior not explicitly documented in source"
- "no explicit multi-step macros documented in source"
- "no explicit safety warnings or interlock procedures documented in source"
- "RS-232 default settings are documented; exact model-specific UART configuration availability not separately stated."
