Owner`s manual

The console program accepts commands up to 80 characters long. This does

not include the terminating carriage return or any characters you delete as

you enter the command. A command longer than 80 characters causes an

error message of the form:

?0036 Command too long.

You can abbreviate commands and some qualiﬁers by dropping characters

from the end of the word. You must enter the minimum number of

characters to identify the keyword unambiguously. In the command

reference sections that follow, characters that you can omit appear within

square brackets ([ ]).

Multiple adjacent spaces and tabs are compressed and treated as a single

space. The program ignores leading and trailing spaces.

You can use command qualiﬁers after the command keyword or after any

symbol or number in the command. See individual keyword descriptions

for examples.

Most numbers in console commands are in hexadecimal notation. However,

the console program does accept decimal notation for console baud rate,

You can use uppercase or lowercase characters for input. The console

program converts all lowercase characters to uppercase.

A command line with no characters is a null command. The console

program takes no action and does not issue an error message. The console

prompt returns.
