The following is a description of the Parameter Send-Host Transmission Characters.
Character 1 - STX:
This is the first character in the character string. None of the other characters will
be recognized without this character prefix. Always use the ASCII “STX” character;
it enables the ML–Trim's receive buffer.
Characters 2, 3 - Device #:
These characters are the access address of the ML–Trim. This number identifies
individual ML–Trims on a multidrop system. The ML–Trim will accept data only if
this number matches the ML–Trim's address (CP-70), with the exception of a “00”
address. The “00” address is universally accepted by all of the ML–Trims that are
on the RS485 Serial Communications Interface.
Character 4 - Message Type:
This character should always be “3”.
