The parameter type is indicated by the symbol that is a part of the syntax. The format
of these parameters are as follows:
For example, for the receiver command:
$PASHS,RCI,f <enter>
The parameter f indicates that the RCI command accepts a single parameter that is
real number such as 0.5 or 10.0. If a character is entered instead, the command will be
rejected. Generally speaking, the parameter must be in the specified format to be
accepted. However, most parameters that are real numbers (f) will also accept an
integer. For example, in the case of the RCI command both 10 and 10.0 are accepted
by the receiver.
