MP
Register the present channel as PASS.
The MP command is used to register the current memory channel as PASS
(so that it will be skipped during scan). The command is generally used in
conjunction with the “MR” command.
To check the current status of PASS use the command MP[ï]
The response will be MP0 Memory PASS OFF
MP1 Memory PASS ON
It is possible to change the status of memory channel PASS using the command:
MPn[ï] where n = 0 Channel PASS OFF
n = 1 Channel PASS ON
