B.3.14.1 Using abbreviations

Abbreviations can make text entry at the Terminal window much faster.

For example, the baud rate of the CAN2 bus can be set/read using the keyword CANBAUD (or CB). To print (on screen) the current baud rate you could type:

PRINT CANBAUD.2

You could also type:

?CB.2

which would have exactly the same effect.

Note: If the BUS keyword has been used to set the default CAN Bus to 2, there is no need to type the .2 extension. The baud rate is stored on the MintDrive and will be recalled each time the unit is powered up.
