Appendix D Philips GP Quick Reference

Characters used in control functions appear in monospaced type. Table 1 explains
some of the conventions used.
A pair of numbers separated by a slash ( / ) character indicates Column/Row
notation. This notation refers to the location of a character in a standard code table,
such as ASCII. (example: 1/B = 1B is the hex-code for Escape)
Spaces appear between characters in sequence for clarity; they are not part of the
format.
At the end of this chapter you will find a listing of the GP-emulation commands
classified by Hex Code and a Hex - Decimal conversion table.
The following conventions are used in the command listings:
Table 1 Conventions
ESC Escape (1/B), introduces an escape sequence
Pn Numeric parameter, or number of units that specify a distance or quantity
pertaining to the escape sequence, control function or control string. Accepted
values are 0...9999, may be preceded by + or -.
If the parameter is in normal notation like "200" the programming in hex-code is
according to a ASCII table. ("200" = 32,30,30 in hex).
If the parameter must be programmed in hex-code the notation is with a slash.
(1/A = 1A in hex-code)
Par To specify different parameters in an ESC sequence. Accepted values are
numbers 0...9 and ASCII characters.
SP Is standing for Space (hex 20)
