float type
This indicates a range of -8388608.0 to 8388607.0. A size of four
bytes and IEEE format are assumed.
Special conditions are described in section 2-5.
[Terminator]
This is ";". The [terminator] is formally ";".
Unless specially noted otherwise, this can be omitted when followed by the next
command.

portions.
[Parameter]
This is similar to the parameters for mode 2.
[Terminator]
The [terminator] is formally "CR + LF" for mode 1 and ";" for mode2.
Unless specially noted otherwise, this can be omitted when
