Command sequences Parameters Some of the commands contain parameters. The definitions of the commands show these parameters in italics. There are dif- ferent forms of parameters which are marked by an inferior character at the position of the parameter designation in italics. These marks have to be interpreted as follows: BP: Binary parameter. The parameter consists of a character the code of which is interpreted as a numeric value. AP: ASCII parameter. An ASCII character is expected as parameter. NP: Numeric parameter. The parameter consists of a se- quence of numbers (ASCII codes "0" - "9") which is interpreted as a whole as a numeric value in decimal notation. Example:
the transfer of the characters "0" and "1" in sequence is evaluated as 1; the transfer of "2", "4", "6" is interpreted as 246 (decimal). TP: Textparameter. The parameter consists of a sequence of ASCII characters which is generally terminated by a special final character. The character sequence is interpreted as text. 4 - 2
