Chapter 6. Configuration File and Command Specifications

Table of Contents
6.1. Syntax
6.2. Generic Command Responses

This chapter describes the command set provided by the device driver. This command set is available through the ASCII script command interface and is also used for configuring the driver at startup via a configuration file. There is no special distinction made between the configuration file commands and commands available after startup. The configuration file is simply a convenient way of executing a common set of commands at startup.

6.1. Syntax

The syntax for all commands is as follows:

    (command [parameter [parameter ...]])

If an unknown command or insufficient parameters are supplied, then an error is returned. If any errors are generated while processing the configuration file, then a message is generated indicating the configuration file has errors, and the driver will not be started.

Most numbers (such as addresses and data) can be entered as decimal or as hexadecimal numbers formatted as 0xnn or 0Xnnnn.
