Command Syntax

The four letter mnemonic in each command sequence specifies the command. The rest of
the sequence consists of parameters. Parameters shown in { } are not always required.
Generally, parameters in { } are required to set a value in the DS360. Multiple parameters
are separated by commas. Multiple commands may be sent on one command line by
separating them with semicolons (;).
The present value of a parameter may be determined by sending a query command.
Commands that may be queried have a question mark in parentheses (?) after the
mnemonic. Commands that may ONLY be queried have a ? after the mnemonic.
Commands that MAY NOT be queried have no ?. A query is formed by including the
question mark ? after the command mnemonic and omitting the queried parameter from
the command. The query parameters shown in { } are NOT sent with a query. The query
returns the value of these parameters. Values are returned as a string of ASCII characters.
NOTE: Do NOT send ( ) or { } as part of the command.
Variables are defined as follows:
All numeric variables may be expressed in integer, floating point or exponential formats
(i.e. the number five can be either 5, 5.0 or 05E1). Strings are sent as a sequence of
ASCII characters.
