4.1.1 Across PSA Modes: Command Subsystem Similarities
When you select different modes you get different sets of available programming commands. That is, only the
commands that are appropriate for the current mode are available. Also, some commands have the same syntax
in different modes but have different ranges or settings that are only appropriate to the current mode.
The following table shows which command subsystems are the same across different modes. If there is no "X"
by a particular subsystem, then the set of available commands is different in those modes. Command ranges or
defaults may also be different. Refer to the programming command descriptions in the documentation for each
mode for details.
