Summary of Command Syntax
COMMAND FORMAT
The general format of a command is a two character mnemonic (AA). Both upper and
lower case are accepted. Depending on the command, it could also have optional or
required preceding (xx) and/or following (nn) parameters.
BLANK SPACES
Blank spaces are allowed and ignored between parameters and commands. For the clarity
of the program and memory saving considerations, use blank spaces with restraint. The
following two commands are equivalent.
2 PA 1000
2PA1000
COMMAND LINE
Commands are executed line by line. A line can consist of one or a number of commands.
The controller will interpret the commands in the order they are received and execute them
sequentially. This means that commands issued on the same line are executed
significantly closer to each other than if they would be issued on separate lines. The
maximum number of characters allowed on a command line is 64.
SEPARATOR
Commands issued on the same line must be separated by semicolons (;).
Multiple parameters issued for the same command are separated by commas (,).
TERMINATOR
Each command line must end with a line terminator, i.e., carriage return.
