File Name; Saving And Loading A File; Errors - Sony XVS-9000 User Manual

Word separator character
Use "," (comma).
Ignored
Spaces and tabs are ignored. There is no distinction
between lowercase and uppercase. If two or more
separator characters appear consecutively, later ones are
ignored. Separator characters at the beginning of a line are
also ignored.
Content of line
Must begin with "Event?" or "Continue?", followed by
symbols and parameters.
Event?,[symbol],[parameter],[parameter],...
Continue?,[symbol],[parameter],[parameter],...
symbol: Type of event (ASCII character string) (see
page 522).
parameter: Shows details of an event. Consists of
parameter names and arguments, and these must
appear in pairs. The number and type of parameters
depends on the event (see page 523).
If the same parameter appears two or more times, the
rightmost occurrence is valid.
How to use Continue statements
When a single parameter has more than one argument, use
a Continue statement.
This section describes a snapshot event as an example.
An event to recall a snapshot in region M/E-1 is written as:
Event?,Snapshot,Region?,ME1,Register?,1,
Attribute?,Off,Time?,Current
In the Event statement, only one region can be specified.
To specify both regions M/E-1 and DME1, use a Continue
statement, thus:
Event?,Snapshot,Region?,ME1,Register?,1,
Attribute?,Off,Time?,Current
Continue?,Snapshot,Region?,DME1,Register?,1,
Attribute?,Off,Time?,Current
To specify more than one argument for a region parameter,
follow the Event statement by a Continue statement on the
next line.

File Name

space, \, /, :, ;, , (comma), . (period), <, >, *, ?, ", |
rrrr: macro register number (0001 to 0250)

save it in the original directory.
