* Command / Response codes of RS-232 transmission:
* Command / Response codes are the combination of 6 bytes.
* Every command's transmission, scan converter responses the equal codes.
* Only PWR???, VER??? codes are available while unit is on Power-Off status.
* Some functions need time to process.
So you have to wait for "RDY???" code received, then you can do next command.
