HP 5961-0509 manual Left Margin Command, ? & a # L, # = Column number, ?&a5L

Left Margin Command

The Left Margin command sets the left margin to the left edge of the specified column.

?& a # L

#= Column number

Default = Column 0 (Left bound of logical page)

Range = 0 - Right margin

The first column within a line is column 0, which is located at the left edge of the logical page (the HMI setting defines the distance between columns, which thereby defines the maximum number of columns on the logical page). If the value field specifies a column greater than the current right margin, the command is ignored.

Margins represent a physical position and once set do not change with subsequent changes in HMI.

If the cursor is to the left of the new left margin, the cursor is moved to the new left margin.

Example

To set the left margin to column 5, send:

?&a5L
