The command syntax is shown below

cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 alphabetic (non numeric) characters.
arg arg1, arg2, … argn are required or optional parameters depending on the command used.
<CR> carriage return (ASCII 13) terminates the command
A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments that follow. A space must also be
inserted between all argument parameters except for the last argument in the chain.
All commands in RS232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13). The carriage return will tell the
command processor to begin execution of the command. See below for a decription of error codes.
Query commands will return the following:
=result
#
The '=' indicates a result from a command is following. The 'result' will follow directly after the '='. The value of the
result will vary depending on the query command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt will indicate the
system is ready for a new command.
