The QD command transfers array data from the host computer to the controller. QD array[], start, end requires that the array name be specified along
with the index of the first element of the array and the index of the last element of the array. The array elements can be separated by a comma ( , ) or by
<CR> <LF>. The downloaded array is terminated by a \.
