Some other device series by the same manufacturer exist that use a different communication protocol.

ASCII based over USB-to-serial.

Some versions of the protocol description in the manual are incomplete, e.g. do not include the commend to query the model code.

Command	Reply	Description	Remarks
GMOD\r	3204\r OK\r	Query model	Four-digit number, e.g. 3202.
GETD\r	VVVVCCCCS\r OK\r	Query displayed voltage, current and mode.	Four-digit voltage, e.g. 12.34; four-digit current, e.g. 12.34; status 0=constant voltage, 1=constant current.
SOUT<0\|1>\r	OK\r	Disable output	Output on=0 (power-on default), off=1
