Serial Trigger

Usage:
Allows the user to define the trigger character and delimiters that start and stop the read cycle.
Definition:
A serial trigger is considered an online host command and requires the same command format as all host commands. It must be entered within angle bracket delimiters < > or, in the case of non-delimited triggers, it must define individual start and stop characters.
