Command Syntax

Command protocol and syntax for the VX4101A Module are
described in full in the Command Syntax section.
A command is a string of ASCII characters (255 max.) termi-
nated by a <program message terminator>.
Commands can be strung together by delimiting the individual
commands with a semi-colon (;).
All characters in a command may be sent in either upper or lower
case form.
Multiple data parameters are separated by a comma (,).
White space characters exclude the <LF>. White space is allowed
anywhere in a command string, except: within a program
mnemonic; around a (:) separator; between a mnemonic and a
(?); following an (*); within a number; within a list.
A question mark (?) following a command indicates a response is
to be returned. All responses from the module are terminated
with the <LF>.
Numeric Value Formats: Fixed or floating-point formats are allowed
(with no embedded spaces). All numbers are rounded to the nearest
value appropriate for the particular command. If a sign is not
specified, the number is assumed to be positive.
