The LMA Menu System 47

Entering Multiple When a command has more than one parameter, you can enter them all Parameters on the same command line with blanks in between or you can enter

some or all of them on separate command lines. If you do not enter them all on one line, you are repeatedly prompted for the remaining parameters.

If you enter an illegal character or string (such as an out-of-range parameter), the LMA display responds with an error message which is indicated by a three-asterisk (***) prefix.
