      MODIFY BLANK RESPONSE
        Verbose- "OK\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, or
                 "ERROR- [Description]\r\n" if error, ending command
        Terse-   "0\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, or
                 "[NON-ZERO NUMERIC VALUE]\r\n" if error, ending command
        "\r\n" concludes modify responses (empty line)

      DISPLAY BLANK RESPONSE
        Verbose- "OK\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, followed by
                 "BLANK= [STANDARD]\r\n", or
                   "ERROR- [Description]\r\n" if error, ending command
        Terse-   "0\r\n" to acknowledge receipt of command, followed by
                 "[TERSE NUMERIC VALUE]\r\n", or
                 "[NON-ZERO NUMERIC VALUE]\r\n" if error, ending command
        "\r\n" concludes display responses (empty line)
## Examples:
      Verbose command to retrieve current setting:
      *.DCMD BLANK <enter>
         Response is: OK\r\n
                      BLANK= NOVIDEO\r\n

      Terse command to retrieve current setting:
      *.DCMD BL <enter>
         Response is: 0\r\n
                      0\r\n

      Verbose command to change setting:
      *.DCMD BLANK BLUE <enter>
         Response is: OK\r\n

     Terse command to change setting:
      *.DCMD BL 9 <enter>
         Response is: 0\r\n
## Notes:
      Support has been added for NOVIDEO for systems with SDI connectors.  NOVIDEO
      also works for any system using the composite connection for PAL and NTSC.

      The NOVIDEO option for DVI and HDMI connectors is not supported due to
      stability issues.  When the NOVIDEO option is set, the DVI and HDMI connectors
      will use the BLACK option.
