Note
Shorthand commands were
created by Panja designers to
streamline receiving, process-
ing, and transmitting Control-
ler data. The short-hand
commands operate Control
Equipment just like the stan-
dard Send_Commands still
used in a wide variety of
Panja products, but they are
simply smaller byte-for-byte,
and thus processed more effi-
ciently.
