Parameters Parameters The requirements for input and output parameters are explained in this section. If a parameter is optional, it is noted here. When a command line is entered, an optional parameter does not have to be specified and the system will assume a default when it is omitted. Unspecified parameters in the middle of a parameter list must be accounted for by commas. Commas are not necessary for unspecified parameters at the end of a parameter list. For example, the following Monitor command has four parameters—the first and third are used and the second and fourth are not specified:
SAMPLE.CMD 5,,"test" The commas are necessary to properly associate the string with the third parameter for the command. But no comma is needed after the string parameter to indicate that the fourth parameter has been omitted. Details This section describes the function of the Monitor command in detail. Examples Examples of correctly formed commands are presented in this section. Related Keywords Additional Monitor commands that are similar, or are frequently used in conjunction with the command, are listed here. In some cases, commands may also be listed that have similar names but are not functionally equivalent.
This section also includes references to keywords that are part of the eV+ programming language. These keywords are detailed in the eV+ Language Reference Guide .
