X3$ = Daylight saving time (DST) is a region-specific 1-hour offset that begins in spring and ends in fall. 0 = off/ignore; 1 = USA on - Starting in 2007, DST begins on the second Sunday of March at 2 AM and ends at 2 AM on the first Sunday of November. For example, time in California is GMT -8:00 from March to November and GMT -7:00 from November to March. However, DST should be turned off in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the eastern time zone portion of the state of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (excluding the Navajo Nation). 2 = Europe on - begins on the last Sunday in March, ends on the last Sunday in October. DST should be turned off for Iceland.

X3% = Event number: range = 0–99 (max.)

X3^ = Event buffer: 0 = receive; 1 = user (absolute); 2 = user (relative); 3 = NVRAM

X3& = Memory location: range = 0–max. BufferSize

X3* = Event data size: b = bit; B = byte (8 bit); S = short (16 bit); L = long (32 bit)

NThis parameter is case sensitive.

X3( = Event data to write

X4! = Reading password: responds as empty if no password is set, and 4 asterisks (****) if password exists.

X4$ = Number of bytes to read: range = 1–127 (max.)

X4% = E-mail event number: range = 1–48 (max.) X4^ = E-mail recipient address

X4& = Name of e-mail file to be sent.

NE-mail files must have the file extension .eml.

X4( = Default name: a combination of the model-name and the last 3 pairs of the MAC address (e.g., IPL-T-S2-00-02-3D)

X5) = Redirect: 0 = no redirect; 1–n = redirect serial port from the specified port to allow for a transparent pass-through mode

X5@ = Connection’s security level: 0 = not logged in; 1 = user; 2 = administrator

X5# = Timeout for data pass-through mode, after which event data can be inserted into the transmit buffer.

X5$ = ASCII digit(s) representing numeric value of data element read from event buffer. (Leading zeros are suppressed.)

X6$ = Time in seconds to keep sending the broadcast message (0–255, default = 10)

X6( = The number of seconds before timeout on IP connections: (min. = 1; max. = 65000;

default= 30 = 300 seconds). If no data is received during the timeout period, the Ethernet connection is closed. Each step = 10 seconds. When connected via RS-232, only the global timeout commands apply. Current returns E13. The response is returned with leading zeros.

NX6( is applicable to Ethernet only.

X7) = Number (as optional parameter) inserted into an e-mail message if the .eml file has an embedded ESC CR command with no parameters.

X7! = Hardware (MAC) address: the four most significant hex nibbles converted into a single 16-bit decimal number.

X7@ = Hardware (MAC) address: the eight least significant hex nibbles converted into single 32-bit decimal number.

NThis could be as large as 10 digits.
