NOTES: 
This message should only be used if it is imperative that the event mark 
number be externally controlled, otherwise the $EGEVT message should be 
used. If the mark number sent is the same as the current mark number the 
message will be ignored. 
A shortcut to the Windows HyperTerminal application is provided to check the 
navigation input. You must quit the application before running, and may 
need to modify the properties if not running at 4800 baud. A sample display 
is shown below.

or faster.
