Description: Variable indicators. Each of the eight bits in V1 and V2 
corresponds to one argument, and indicates whether the argument 
is specified by a numerical value or a variable ID number. 
Range: 0 – The argument is specified by a numerical value. 
1 – The argument is specified by the ID number of a system 
variable. See Chapter 9, List of System Variables. 
V1
AND
V2
Example: Consider the IF command, which consists of five 
arguments: [Arg 1] [Arg 2] [Arg 3] [Arg 4] [Arg 5]. 
If Arg 3 is to be specified by a variable, and all others by numerical 
values, then the V string, in binary form, would be 00100, where the 
right-most 0 corresponds to Arg 1 and the left-most to Arg 5. 00100 
corresponds to 0x4 in hexadecimal format, and thus V1 would be set 
to 0, and V2 to 4. 
Description: Command Argument. Each Pn is one byte for one 
digit. The number of arguments and size (number of digits), if 
relevant, depend on the Command Operational Code (see Chapter 
11, List of Operation Codes). 
Range: 0 – The corresponding P bit 
P1 P2 …P
N
Notes: Either a numerical value or a variable ID number can be 
specified for some arguments. The corresponding V bit specifies 
whether the number entered for the argument denotes a numerical 
value or the ID number of a system variable. See Chapter 9, List of 
System Variables. 
Description: Message checksum (two bytes for two digits). The 
checksum is calculated by summing all bytes (excluding N and CR) 
in a message body (See Chapter 11, List of Operation Codes). 
S1
AND
S2
Range: 0x0 – 0xFF. 0x0 – 0xF each
Description: Carriage Return. Used as a message response 
termination symbol. Constant value. 
CR
Range: CR (0x0D in ASCII code)
