General Rules for Using BCS Commands
•
Command strings typically are not case-sensitive.
•
All command strings must end with the Take command “T” which tells the system to execute the command.
•
“O” is the letter O, not the number zero (0).
•
Entering “X” at any point in a command string cancels the command.
•
A command cannot be canceled after the “T” has been entered.
•
Command strings cannot be edited. If a mistake has been made, enter an “X” and then reenter the command.
•
To specify multiple outputs, inputs, levels, or local presets, enter a space “ ” between each number. Multiple
•
inputs are only valid in Disconnect commands.
•
To specify a range of outputs, inputs, or local presets, insert a colon “:” between the lowest and highest numbers of the
range (not supported if the command is otherwise invalid, e.g., cannot specify a range of inputs in a Change command; the
first input only would be routed).
•
Colons “:” and spaces “ ” can be used in the same command string.
•
If the level designation “L” is omitted, the command is executed on the default level, which is normally Level 0.
