** Syntax conventions **
The Command Syntax and the Response Syntax may contain the
following meta symbols and data elements:
UPPERCASE These characters are part of the syntax.
For commands, lower case is also allowed.
<...> An expression between these brackets is a
code, such as <cr> (carriage return) that can
not be expressed in a printable character, or
it is a parameter that is further specified.
Do not insert the brackets in the command!
[...] The item between these brackets is optional.
This means that you may omit it for the
command, or for a response it may not appear.
Do not insert the brackets in the command!
| This is a separator between selectable items.
This means that you must choose only one of
the items (exclusive or).
{...} Specifies an element that may be repeated 0 or
more instances.
(...) Grouping of multiple elements.
<binary_character>= 0 to 255
<digit> = 0 to 9
<sign> = + | -
<decimal_number>= <digit>{<digit>}
<float> = <mantissa><exponent>
<mantissa> = <signed_integer>
<exponent> = <signed_byte>
<signed_integer> = <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing a signed
integer value. The first byte is the
most significant and contains the
sign bit (bit 7).
<signed_long> = four <binary_character>’s
<unsigned_integer>= <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing an unsigned
integer value. The first byte is the
most significant.
<unsigned_long> = four <binary_character>’s
