6.2.11.7.0 Channel Data Syntax
Following the channel definition, you must define the command data for that channel.
Channel data attributes can be entered two ways, as constants or as individual values. Constants are declared
before any individual parameters are listed, and they require the equal sign (=) to be appended to the end of
its keyword. Any keyword can be defined as a constant. The following is one example of the command data
syntax where one keyword is defined as a constant. Each row of data defines a command element.
The following is an example of proper command data syntax:
