6.12.2.3. Command Syntax
Commands are not case-sensitive and all arguments within one command (i.e. ID numbers,
keywords, data values, etc.) must be separated with a space character.
All Commands follow the syntax:
X [ID] COMMAND
Where
X is the command type (one letter) that defines the type of command. Allowed
designators are listed in Table 6-25 and Appendix A-6.
[ID] is the analyzer identification number (Section 6.10.1.). Example: the Command
“? 200” followed by a carriage return would print the list of available commands
for the revision of software currently installed in the instrument assigned ID
Number 200.
COMMAND is the command designator: This string is the name of the command being
issued (LIST, ABORT, NAME, EXIT, etc.). Some commands may have additional
arguments that define how the command is to be executed. Press ? or
refer to Appendix A-6 for a list of available command designators.

6.12.2.4. Data Types
Data types consist of integers, hexadecimal integers, floating-point numbers, Boolean expressions
and text strings.
• Integer data are used to indicate integral quantities such as a number of records, a filter
length, etc. They consist of an optional plus or minus sign, followed by one or more digits.
For example, +1, -12, 123 are all valid integers.
• Hexadecimal integer data are used for the same purposes as integers. They consist of the
two characters “0x,” followed by one or more hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F, a-f), which is
the ‘C’ programming language convention. No plus or minus sign is permitted. For example,
0x1, 0x12, 0x1234abcd are all valid hexadecimal integers.
