:WRITe VXI:WRITe < logical_addr> ,< register_addr> ,< data> allows access to the
entire 64 byte A16 register address space for the device specified by
logical_addr. Since the VXIbus system is byte-addressed, while the registers are
16 bits wide, registers are specified by even addresses only. This method of
identifying registers follows the VXIbus standard format.
