n (range)
Any number within the range is permissible. The unit of measure (s, ms, baud, count,
etc.) for the number will be given in the description. These are decimal numbers.
n ($00 - $FF)
Special functions: Some parameters are used to control special functions, such as
specifying the character to use to enter the Command mode from the Convers mode or
specifying the character to use for ―backslash‖. Possible values and default values for
these parameters are shown in HEX format.
The ―digits‖ of a hex number represent powers of 16, analogous to the powers of 10
represented by a decimal number. The decimal numbers 10 through 15 are represented
in hex by the letters A through F (e.g., decimal 10 is hex A). And a hex number is
distinguished from a decimal number by preceding it with a ―$‖ prefix.
For example:
$1B = (1*16) + 11 = 27
Number codes for these special characters are shown in hexadecimal (hex) form (i.e.,
base 16). They can be entered either in decimal or in hex. Permissible values are
shown in HEX: for example (n = $00 - $FF).
Note: Setting a function character to zero ($00) disables that function.
See the ASCII Chart at end of this manual for a listing of ASCII codes for all
alphanumeric characters, including A to Z and 0 to 9, and conversions between hex
and decimal representations.
Several parameters are ASCII numerical values for characters, which perform special
functions. Most of these special function characters have ―control characters‖ as default
values. Control characters are entered by holding down a special control key (normally
marked ―Ctrl‖) on the keyboard while typing the indicated key. For example, to enter a
<Ctrl+X>, hold down the Control key while typing an X, then release both keys.
These special characters cannot be sent in a packet unless preceded by the pass
character (see the PASS command) or unless you are operating in the Transparent
Mode.
If a streamswitch (STREAMSW) character or any other special character is defined as
“$” then you will need to enter values in decimal, or precede the $ with the PASS
character in order to enter hex numbers.
flags ChoiceA|ChoiceB
Many parameters are ―flags‖, meaning they have two possible values, ON and OFF, or
YES and NO. All of the command descriptions show ON and OFF as the options;
however YES (Y) and NO (N) may be typed instead. A few parameters are really flags,
