The following conventions are used for menu and query command
descriptions:
Parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of
a command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
Bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that
appear on the screen.
8-2 Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have
been used for clarity only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […]
Storage
Pref Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies
the desired menu command group. For example,
all RS-232 configuration settings are identified
with a Tag of 232 .
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies
the desired menu command within the tag group.
For example, the SubTag for the RS-232 baud
rate is BAD .
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and
SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which
the command is applied:
! (exclamation point) => performs the command’s operation
on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
. (period) => performs the command’s operation on the
device’s non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the
non-volatile table only for semi-permanent changes you
want saved through a power cycle.
