(invalid)

$DT OK*xx

Parameters updated successfully

$DT ERR*xx

An error response

Notes:

For the query option, the return value of $DT <rate>*xx requires different parsing than the 

normal $DT message format. The application should check if a comma is present in the $DT

string, and, if so, assume it is the standard date/time format. If no comma is present and the

value is a number, then the value is the rate being returned in response to the $DT ? query.
