Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for
clarity only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […]
Storage
PrefixThree ASCII characters:
SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTagA 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired
menu command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag
for the RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
DataThe new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
StorageA single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-
volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only
for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its set-
tings.
^ What is the default value for the setting(s).
? What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
* What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
