Abbreviated commands: Commands can be abbreviated with letters shown in boldface.
Letters not printed in boldface can be omitted.
Example: "OUTPUT ON" = "OU ON"
As a rule, letters can be entered in upper or lower case.
Stringing commands together: Several commands in a single data string must be separated by semicolons (;).
Example: "USET 12; ISET 8.5; OUTPUT ON"
Formats for numeric parameters: n: Whole number (integer)
v: Whole number, fixed or floating decimal point number with or without exponent
Examples: “12.5”, “0012.5”, “1.25E1”, “+1.25 e+01”
