Header and Parameters 

The commands consist of a command header and parameters. (See the following.) 
 
For example

 

 

 

 

 

comp:nom    100.0e3

 

 

 

   

Header          Parameter

 

 

Headers  can  be  of  the  long  form  or  the  short  form.  The  long  form  allows  easier 

understanding of the program code and the short form allows more efficient use of the 
computer. 

 

Parameters may be of two types as follows. 

(A) Character Data and String Data Character data consists of ASCII characters. The 
abbreviation rules are the same as the rules for command headers.   
(B) Numeric Data 
 

(a) 

<

integer>: 

For example, 1,+123,-123 

 

 

(b) 

<

float>: For example, 1.23e3, 5.67e-3, 123k, 1.23M, 2.34G, 1.234 

 

 

(c) <scifloat>: For example, +1.03 

 

The available range for numeric data is 9.9E37. When numeric data is used as a 
parameter,  the  suffix  multiplier  mnemonics  and  suffix  units  (The  suffix 
multiplier must be used with the suffix unit) can be used for some commands as 
follows.
