5.8.1 Command Syntax
The command syntax is defined by the following format.
1. Header
There are two types of headers: common command headers and simple headers. The common com-
mand header has an asterisk mark (*) placed in front of the mnemonic.
The simple header is a functionally independent command that has no hierarchical structure.
Placing a question mark (?) right after the header forms a query command.
2. Space (blank character)
One or more spaces can be used (Spaces may be omitted).
3. Data
When a command requires multiple data sets, data sets are separated by comma (,). A space may be
used directly before or after comma (,). For more information on the data types, refer to Section 5.8.2,
"Data Format."
4. Describing Multiple Commands
The 6146/6156 allows multiple commands to be described consecutively or separated by semicolon
(;), comma (,), or space ( ) in one line.
