Command Reference
Introduction
This chapter documents all KPC-3 Plus commands.
There are many commands which affect operation of the KPC-3 Plus. Some commands
affect performance under specific conditions, some change parameters affecting
general operation and others direct a one-time action.
The user changes parameters and issues instructions to the KPC-3 Plus by typing
commands composed of English-like word abbreviations and variables which are
numbers or strings of characters chosen by the user. You will probably never change
some of these parameters.
Default values are stored in the EPROM. If you change any setting or value, the new
setting or value will be stored in battery-backed RAM and will be the value used at
future power-on.
The availability of the commands listed here depends upon what INTFACE (i.e.,
INTERFACE) mode the KPC-3 Plus is currently in (see the INTFACE command in the
command listing below and check the index for more information on INTFACE modes).
Format for Listing Commands
All KPC-3 Plus commands are listed alphabetically below.
A ―‖ bullet in front of the name of a command indicates that the command is a
NEWUSER Command— it will be available for use when the KPC-3 Plus is set to
NEWUSER Mode.
The KPC-3 Plus ships with NEWUSER as the default INTFACE mode. Also, the KPC-3
Plus will be in NEWUSER mode after a hard reset.
Format Defining Commands
The Command Line
The first line of each command definition shows the syntax for entering the command,
beginning with the name of the command, followed by a listing of any parameters that
may be used with the command.
The full name of each command is shown in CAPS and a ―short-form‖ of the command
is shown by the underlined characters in the name. The short-form of the command is
the shortest string of characters, starting from the beginning of the full name, that will
allow the KPC-3 Plus to uniquely identify the command being requested.
