cds | cds is the command delimiter start character '*' (ASCII 42). |

|
|
|
id | id is the device number in the range of 1 to 32. This can be a single |
|
| character for values less than 10, no preceding zero is required. |

cmd | cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 |
|
| characters in length |

,separates multiple commands
cde | cde is the command delimiter end character '!' (ASCII 33). |
SExample:
*12XYZ A 9,9PDQY 1234,31WX 200 98!
The command string is started by the command delimiter start character “*”. The first command follows directly after the command delimiter start character. The example shows that device 12 should process the XYZ command with A and 9 as parameters. A comma (ASCII 44) separates the commands. Device 9 will process the PDQY command with a parameter of 1234 and device 31 will process the WX command with parameters of 200 and 98. The command end delimiter character “!” follows directly after the last command to end the command string.
Commands received in the command string will not be processed until the command end delimiter character “!” is received. This format allows commands to be stacked up for transmission to a single device or multiple devices and executed when the cde “!” character is received by all units. Any incomplete or unknown commands will be ignored. The maximum number of commands that can be stacked up per unit is 16. Each unit will only stack those commands assigned to it, even though all units receive the same command string.
During queue processing, no input buffer processing is performed. Characters sent through the serial port during queue processing are still stored in the input buffer. If hardware flow control is not observed, it is important to guarantee that the input buffer limit
