Yn
YO CR LF
Yl LF CR
Y2 CR
Y3 LF
Y4 No Terminator
Upon power up, or after a DCL or SDC is received, the YO terminator (CR LF) will
be selected.
A terminator sequence can be programmed by sending the Y command followed
by an appropriate character. The default terminator sequence is the commonly us-
ed carriage return, line feed (CR LF) sequence (YO). Selecting the wrong terminator
for the controller could cause the bus to hang up.
The ASCII value of the CR character is 13, and the ASCII value of the LF character
is 10.
