This command displays general information about a card and its status.
Command Format: [?Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
The MT103-102 in slot 4 has Output 1 enabled, and Outputs 2 and 3
disabled. Send [?C4] and receive feedback similar to the following.
[(MT103-102C04)(VR690-0125-013C04) (ON100C04)]
All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, "[ ]". Each data field within
the status is enclosed in parentheses. The first two characters identify
the status type. The last three characters are the card’s ID.
MT103-102 = Card model number
VR690-0125-013 = Firmware version
ON100 = Output On/Off status
The On/Off status line is read from left to right as Outputs 1-3. A "1"
indicates the output is on and a "0" indicates the output is off.
