The command above sets vertical tabs inside a VFD, where on> is the VFU channel (olon><7) (accessed by the <ES- / cm> command), and subsequent absolute values (in lines) of vertical tabs (accessed by the <VT> command) are represented by 010> to cnZ>. These values must be given in ascending order, otherwise the command will be terminated. The sequence must end with a cNUL> @Oh).If no vertical tab values are given between the channel number and the cNULz-, then all previous vertical tab positions set for that channel will be cleared.

The command above will set relative vertical tab positions, where <n> is a binary value giving the distance in lines between vertical tabs set by this command. The vertical tabs set by this command are subsequently accessed by the <VT, command. All vertical tabs previously set are cleared. Instead of the ASCII “l”, the binary Olh character can be used.
