Description of Syntax Letters and Symbols
The command descriptions provided within the 6000 Series Software Reference use
alphabetic letters and ASCII symbols within the Syntax description to represent different
parameter requirements (see example below).

Symbol Description
a Represents an axis specifier, numeric value from 1 to 4 (used only to elicit a
response from the indexer)
b
*
Represents the values 1,Ø, X or x; does not require field separator between
values.
c Represents a character (A to Z, or a to z)
d Represents the values 1,Ø, X or x, E or e ; does not require field separator
between values. E or e enables a specific command field. X or x leaves the
specific command field unchanged or ignored.
i Represents a numeric value that cannot contain a decimal point (integer values
only). The numeric range varies by command. Field separator (,) required.
r Represents a numeric value that may contain a decimal point, but is not required
to have a decimal point. The numeric range varies by command. Field separator
(,) required.
t Represents a string of alpha numeric characters from 1 to 6 characters in length.
The string must start with an alpha character.
! Represents an immediate command. Changes a buffered command to an
immediate command. Immediate commands are processed immediately, even
before previously entered buffered commands.
, Represents a field separator. Commands with the symbol r or i in their Syntax
description require field separators. Commands with the symbol b or d in their
Syntax description do not require field separators (but they may be included).
See
General Guidelines table below for more information.
@ Represents a global specifier, where only one field need be entered. Applicable
to all commands with multiple command fields. (e.g., @V1 sets velocity on all
axes to 1 rps)
< > Indicates that the item contained within the < > is optional, not required by that
command. NOTE: Do not confuse with <cr>, <sp>, and <lf>, which refer to the
ASCII characters corresponding to a carriage return, space, and line feed,
respectively.
[ ] Indicates that the command between the [ ] must be used within the syntax of
another command, and cannot be used by itself.
*
The ASCII character b can also be used within a command to precede a binary number. When the b is
used in this context, it is not to be replaced with a Ø, 1, X, or x. Examples are assignments such as
VARB1=b1ØØØ1, and comparisons such as IF(IN=b1ØØ1X1).
