Host-to-controller instructions
The RAC 104 accepts SIS commands through the RS-232 port.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command
field. They do not require any special characters to begin or
end the command character sequence. Each controller response
to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed
(CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character
string. A string is one or more characters.
