Common Data and Parameter Fields for Commands
{seq name}
The name of a calibration sequence. It is
not necessary to spell out the entire
sequence name; the first few characters will
suffice as long as they are unique. If more
than one sequence starts with the characters
in the {seq name} field, an error will be
returned.
{point}
A sequence point. This can be a number
between 1 and 20. If the field is empty,
either the first or next point will be
selected, depending upon the context.
