What parameter(s) are you passing the @@Hn and @@Eq
and how quickly are you sending them? Page 31 talks about
this.

You are enabling output messages, right? Sounds like the
order in which you individually *enable* one or more messages
is unrelated to the order in which, once a second(*), all selected
messages are *output*. I've never confirmed if they are output
alphabetically or by size or priority or what. Does someone know
for sure? Or does it matter?

Right, but the commands you are sending are merely enabling
commands. Send as many as you want in any order. You don't
see responses until the top of the next second. Just a guess,
though, since my M12+T is not available to confirm this.
