Commander Theory of Operation and Command Reference

 Connections and Setup

Note: All the commands described in this section are ASCII commands unless called out as standalone commands. ASCII commands are used when communicating over USB or serial communication. Standalone commands are used when writing a standalone program to the Commander core. Not every ASCII command is supported in standalone operations.
