Syntax
NOTE. Do not include the <, >, {,}, or symbols when entering the actual value for a parameter.
Separate multiple parameters after a command header with a comma. For example:
STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:LIMit DELTa1,30
Table 3±13 defines the command and response parameter types for the Intelli- Frame Mainframe.

Parameter values that appear in this manual are often enclosed in curly braces ({}) separated by a vertical line. This vertical line means the same thing as the word ªor.º For example, values for the parameter <Boolean> are
{01OFFON}
This is the same thing as saying ª0 or 1 or OFF or ON.º Any single value is a valid parameter.
