Parser Commands

TracVision L3/S3 system parser commands are parsed when the

system receives an ASCII carriage return (Hex 0D). An ASCII line

feed (Hex 0A) is permitted but is ignored in any transmitted

command. All system responses are terminated with an ASCII

carriage return followed by a line feed and ending with either an

acknowledge character (ASCII > (Hex 3E)) or a not-acknowledge

character (ASCII ? (Hex 3F)). The parser commands are shown

below in boldface capital letters but they are not case-sensitive. In

most cases the command is responded to with an echo; that is, if

you type

ZAP, for example, and press “ENTER” the response

will be the command you have entered. For other commands the

response is specific for each command, such as

VERSION,

STATUS or HELP.
