6.1  Mint Keyword Syntax 
The following syntactical rules are applied throughout the following keyword definitions:- 
Case: 
Words in capital letters are keywords (for example 
FOLERRORFATAL) and must be entered as shown, 
except that they can be entered in any combination of upper and lower case. For example: 
folerrorfatal = 10
FolErrorFatal = 20
FOLERRORFATAL = 30
Angled Brackets: 
You are asked to supply any items shown in lower case letters between angled brackets. Where the 
term <expression> or <condition> is used, this refers to a variable, constant or other valid numeric 
expression. For example: 
a*b/c
a
POS < 100
Curly Brackets: 
Items in curly brackets { } are optional. For the example above: 
FOLERRORFATAL[axis] = <expression> {,<expression> ...}
Continuation Dots: 
The dots "..." signify that more expressions or statements can follow. 
6.2  Mint Keyword Definitions 
Each keyword is defined using the structure described below. Where sections are not applicable to a 
particular keyword they may be omitted. 
The 
=
==
=
 symbol denotes that this keyword has changed in its implementation in Mint v4. For details 
see the Mint v4 Code Analyzer Tool Guide. 
Purpose 
The ‘Purpose’ section briefly summarizes the function of the keyword. 
Controllers Supported 
The ‘Controllers Supported’ list indicates which Controllers support the keyword. 
Format 
The ‘Format’ section details the syntax that may be used with the keyword. It also indicates if the 
keywords is axis or channel based. 
Dot Parameters 
The ‘Dot Parameters’ specifies what the keyword addresses, such as an axis or a channel. Use the table 
below to find the range of this parameter on the different controllers.
