COMMAND The name of the command
TYPE Lists the type of command. There are three types of commands in the MPS:
Get - a Get type command retrieves informaon. Any command that begins with “SET” can be
retrieved if the “GET” command is used i.e., GET <command name>
Set - a Set type command will set conguraons. These commands typically require an argu-
ment or value. In order to change these variables, these commands must begin with the
“SET” command.
Funcon - a Funcon command will cause the MPS to start a process or funcon and may not
return any data.
A command can be one or more types.
Any command type labeled as “Disabled” are implemented as a placeholder to create back-
wards compability with MPS4264 soware. These commands will be accepted, but will not
change any funconality in the MPS4232.
