number-set currently being marked). The control
commands set_serial_step and set_serial always
apply to the serial-number-set most recently
selected by select_serial_set.
• get_serial returns the current serial number of
the serial-number-set selected by
select_serial_set (if multiple serial-number-sets
exist, then the returned serial number is not
necessarily the most recently marked serial
number).
• set_max_counts allows specification of the
maximum number of External Starts and thus the
maximum number of externally started markings.
The number of already occurred External Starts
can be obtained with get_counts. When a single
serial-number-set is used, these commands let
you indirectly set the maximum serial number
and query the current serial number. But when
multiple serial-number-sets are used, these
commands do not differentiate between the
various serial-number-sets.
