Command Structure

The structure of each command is COMMAND followed by an EOL (End Of Line),
or COMMAND followed by a ";" (a semicolon is used as a command separator),
another command and then by an EOL (End Of Line).
Enter the entire command on one line. Separate each word of the command with a
space.
Some commands have an abbreviated form. Abbreviations are the minimal amount
of letters for each command word necessary to distinguish that command. For
example, the ALARM command needs only the A. The EVENT command needs EV
because another command, ENABLE, starts with E.
323, describes each command.
Use the backspace or delete key to correct entry mistakes. To erase an entire
command line, press ESC. A fore-slash (/) at the start of the line repeats the last
command entered. Press Control-C to stop the current output and empties the
transmit buffer.
Note: The TSG-3800 automatically erases any partial or unsent
commands if left inactive for more than 180 seconds.
Commands are not case-sensitive. The commands listed in this guide
are capitalized for readability only.
An illegal command or syntax error returns the following message:
->XXX is not a valid command
An illegal command option returns the following message:
->Invalid parameter
