Kantronics KPC–3 Plus User Manual page 147

The KPC-3 Plus scans an internal list of commands—which is NOT in alphabetical
order—and selects the first match with the string you enter.
The command name is followed by a space.
After the space, there may be one or more parameters that need to be used, or that
may optionally be used, with the command.
Values that need to be entered as they are shown (or by using the short-form
indicated by the underlined character(s)) are shown in CAPS , as in ―ON | OFF‖.
Parameter names for which a value needs to be substituted are shown in lower
case letters, as in ―callsign,‖ which means a particular callsign needs to be
entered.
Lists of parameter values are enclosed in curly brackets ―{ }‖ for grouping clarity
and lists of optional parameter values are enclosed in square brackets ―[ ]‖.
If more than one choice is possible for the value of a given parameter (i.e., flag),
choices are separated by a vertical bar, as in ― ON | OFF‖ or ―OPTION1 |
OPTION2 | OPTION3".
If a parameter can take a range of values (or in cases such as ABAUD, any of a set of
numerical values) the parameter is shown as a name in lower case (e.g., ―n‖) and the
permissible range of values (or the list of possible values) is given in parentheses ―( )‖ to
the right side of the command, after the syntax has been presented. For example,
possible values of the parameter ―n‖ are defined as ―(n = 1 - 255)‖.
The Line Below the Command Definition
If commands have parameters, default values are shown on the line below the
command definition.
Some KPC-3 Plus commands take effect immediately, so they are called ―immediate‖
commands (e.g., K means ―switch to CONVERSE mode"). This will be stated on the
second line. For example, the command to go to CONVERS mode says ―immediate‖ on
the second line.
More Information on Commands
Each command is explained in detail and examples are given where appropriate.
Following the explanation of the command, there may be a ―See also‖ list that shows
related commands.
Parameter Types
Almost all parameters are of one of the following types (exceptions are discussed when
they are encountered in the command listing).
