Within a Serial Command
To enter control characters within a serial command, hold down the
control key while typing the desired character.

Within an Embedded Menu
Control characters entered on the command line are displayed in the
menu as mnemonic characters, such as: <CR><LF><NUL><NUL>
To enter a control character from within an embedded menu, first type
in a space (with the space key). This has the effect of allowing the con-
trol key to be recognized as a part of the control character. Next hold
down the control key while typing the desired character.
