Number Format

NR1 specifies integer data.

NR3 specifies exponential data in floating point format (for example, - 1.0E- 3).

<NL> (Line Terminator)

<NL> = new line or linefeed (ASCII decimal 10).

The line terminator, or a leading colon, will send the parser to the "root" of the command tree.

[ ] (Optional Syntax Terms)

Items enclosed in square brackets, [ ], are optional.

{ } (Braces)

When several items are enclosed by braces, { }, only one of these elements may be selected. Vertical line ( ) indicates "or". For example, {ON OFF} indicates that only ON or OFF may be selected, not both.

::= (Defined As)

::= means "defined as".
