Syntax Notation

This manual uses the following notation to indicate the syntax of control

sequences sent to the emulator and the format of messages returned to

your application:

[ ] Square brackets indicate that the enclosed item(s) is optional.

... Ellipses indicate that the preceding item(s) can be repeated

as many times as necessary.

lc Lowercase italics indicate a variable item that must be replaced

by data.

Control characters are represented by two- or three-character

abbreviations shown in uppercase letters, for example, ESC, CR, LF and

so on. When you send a control character to the 6530, you must send the

ASCII code for the character as listed in Appendix A.

The spaces shown in the format descriptions and examples are for clarity

only. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the spaces are not part of

escape sequence or returned message format, and will cause an error if

included.

An H following a number indicates a hexadecimal value,

for example, 10H.
