For example:
•
# . . . . . . . . . . . . . . one numeric argument
e.g.: bump # . . . . .bump 42
e.g.: ratewheel # . .ratewheel -10
• Q . . . . . . . . . . . . . . one cue name
e.g.: runcue Q . . . .runcue 123.4
• #@L. . . . . . . . . . . . a number, an @ sign and a level
e.g.: subpot #@L. .subpot 3@75 or subpot 42@255#
This will only work for commands that specifically have a level argument (L) listed in the
keyword table below. For example:
•
Channel 1@50 . . . 50 is simply two key presses not a level argument. Therefore you
cannot use # or %.
• Capchan 1@50 . . . Here 50 is specifically a level and so the % and # rules apply.
Command Examples
N o t e :
Note that the accelerator for enter is not an alphabetic character so you can’t put it in
quotes.
Input Stream Echoing
The input stream is echoed after it is processed. This will help in debugging the connection
and the commands being entered. The input string is not echoed until the end of line is
reached (carriage return or line feed). Each input string is echoed as an interpreted string
followed by a carriage return and a line feed. Commands are echoed in their interpreted
form.
Quoted strings are echoed as is with the enclosing quotes.
Independent digits are echoed as is .
The command separator (semicolon) is echoed as is .
Unknown commands are echoed as is , followed by a question mark.
String Action

Ch1@fl This still works because ch is alphabetic but 1 is not.
St bl st [Stage] [Blind] [Stage]
Stblst
unknown command – These commands must be separated
because they’re alphabetic.
