Using an incomplete command line.
example: P0= (missing a value)
example: INH 2- correct would be INH -2 (waiting for input #2 to turn off)
example: INH -24 (1.5 missing ")" to close the timeout.
Using existing commands as DEFINE.
Aliases were added in 1.18.07. The following document addresses their use.
When using aliases, be careful not to use any aliases that are close to AcroBASIC commands. The #DEFINE statement will NOT give you an error on download and will be there when you issue the DEF query. The program lines that have that alias will not be properly stored and when you try to query these parameters, you will get errors. See example below. AMP and XAXIS are arguments for the CMTand CONFIG commands, respectively.
SYS>dim def20
SYS>#define AMP p6144
SYS>#define Xaxis p6145
SYS>def
#DEFINE AMP P6144
#DEFINE Xaxis P6145
SYS>?AMP
Evaluation underflow
SYS>?Xaxis
Evaluation underflow
What aliases will not work? Just type HELP at the command prompt. See example below (I bolded the items shown as examples above):
SYS>help
