The following are examples of discrete parameters in commands:
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or false. The
two-state boolean parameter has four arguments. The following list shows the arguments
for the two-state boolean parameter:
String Parameters
String parameters allow ASCII strings to be sent as parameters. Single or double quotes are
