- cache
Reload all information from dbman.
This is useful when making database
changes on the fly because some information is not automatically passed
from dbman.
- ch n
enter a new value for the currently assigned control parameter.
The value
may be entered in fixed format i.e. x.xxxx or in scientific notation i.e. x.xxxey.
If the parameter is negative going, for example a power supply with a
range of 0 to -50KV and the value is entered as a positive number the value
with be complemented i.e. 10.0 will be changed to -10.0 and a warning message
given.
If the parameter is bipolar (i.e. -10KV to 10KV) this will not occur.
The program can not read the user’s mind.
- pg n
select a new display page. n is the new page number. - sv
save Parameter Value - rs
restore Parameter Value - ldr
list readback DATA record - lcr
list control DATA record - pen n

.
If n is present it is used as the pen channel number. If no argument is
present then the next available channel is used.
- penc n

.
If n is present it is used as the pen channel number. If no argument is

up the system to make sure that the select regions for each parameter do
not overlap.
- id
enter increment/decrement mode
- rl
enter rollerball mode

to be changed at a slower rate.

enter x/y mode
- mf
mouse fast
- ms
mouse slow
- F1
enter inc/dec mode
