synchronous mode, and ports 8 through 11 will use the
asynchronous mode.
The following paragraphs describe the commands used to operate
the 1260-114 modules.
When a <port> is shown on the command syntax, it represents the
combination of the module address and the port number. The
syntax for a <port> is:
( @ <module address> ( <port number> ) )
where <module address> is a number in the range 1 through 12, or
a module name defined using the "MODULE:DEFINE" command.
This selects the 1260-114 or 1260-114C module.
The <port number> is a value in the range 0 through 11. This
selects which of the 12 ports on the module will be used.
Some commands accept a more general form of specifying
multiple ports. This is shown in the command syntax as a <port
list>. A <port list> uses the format:
( @ <module address> ( <port range> )
[ , <module address> ( <port range> ) ] )
where the <module address> is a number in the range 1 through
12, or a module name. The <port range> is a sequence of port
speciifiers, separated by commas.
A <port range> may be a:
<port number>
where a single port number is specified. The port number is in the
range 0 to 11. Or:
<port1> , <port2>
where two individual ports are specified. Each of these is a number
in the range 0 to 11. Or:
<port1> : <port2>
which specifies a range of inclusive ports. All ports between
<port1> and <port2> are included. Each of <port1> and <port2> is
a number in the range 0 to 11.
