CANDE Control Commands

The CANDE control commands are described and illustrated in this section.

The control commands

  • Provide the ability to control and interrogate the operating environment.

  • Must be preceded by the station control character (represented as a question mark (?) in this manual).

  • Cannot be queued and are performed or rejected immediately.

Also, some control commands may be processed in parallel with non-control commands.

The session convention is passed to the MCP when a system command is entered. Responses to the system command use the convention to format dates and times.
