3 Command Line Reference
ASCII replies to
set
-,
get
- and
exe
-commands, including the terminating prompt, are
atomic: they cannot be broken by other messages from the receivers. For the
lst
-
commands, the replies may consist of several atomic formatted blocks which can be inter-
leaved with other output data. If more than one formatted block is output for a lst-command,
each of the intermediate blocks is terminated with a pseudo-prompt "
−−−−
>". The normal
prompt will only be used to terminate the last formatted block of the reply so that one single
prompt is always associated with one command.
3.1.4 Command Syntax Tables
All ASCII commands are listed in section 3.2. Each command is introduced by a compact
formal description of it called a "syntax table". Syntax tables contain a complete list of
arguments with their possible values and default settings when applicable.
The conventions used in syntax tables are explained below by taking a fictitious
setCommandName
command as example. The syntax table for that command is:
scn
gcn
setCommandName
getCommandName
Cd
Cd

The associated
set
- and
get
-commands are always described in pairs, and the same holds
for the associated
exe
- and
get
-commands. The command name and its equivalent 3-5
character mnemonic are printed in the first two columns. The list of arguments for the
set- and get-commands is listed in the first and second row respectively. In our example,
setCommandName
can accept up to 6 arguments and
getCommandName
only accepts one
argument. Mandatory arguments are printed in bold face. Besides the mandatory argu-
ments, at least one of the optional arguments must be provided in the command line.
The list of possible values for each argument is printed under each of them. Default values
for optional arguments are underlined.
The link printed in blue under the syntax table shows under which GUI menu the command
can be found.
The fictitious command above contains all the possible argument types:
•
Cd
serves as an index for all following arguments. This can be noticed by the possibility
to use this argument in the
get
-command. This argument is mandatory in the
set
-command. The accepted values are
COM1
,
COM2
and
all
, corresponding to the
first or second serial ports, or to both of them respectively. The "+" sign before the
first two values indicates that they can be combined to address both serial ports in the
same command.
