Interactive Control Syntax
The following special rules apply to making calls from the Interactive 
Control utility:
The 
ud
 or 
BoardId
 parameter is implied by the Interactive Control 
prompt, therefore it is never included in the call.
The 
count
 parameter to functions is unnecessary because buffer 
lengths are automatically determined by Interactive Control. 
Function return values are handled automatically by Interactive 
Control. In addition to printing out the return 
ibsta
 value for the 
function, it also prints other return values.
If you do not know what parameters are appropriate to pass to a given 
function call, type in the function name and press <Enter>. The 
Interactive Control utility then prompts you for each required 
parameter.
Number Syntax
You can enter numbers in either hexadecimal or decimal format. 
Hexadecimal numbers—You must prefix hexadecimal numbers with
0x
For example, 
ibpad 0x16
 sets the primary address to 16 hexadecimal 
(22 decimal).
Decimal numbers—Enter the number only. For example, 
ibpad 22
 sets 
the primary address to 22 decimal.
String Syntax
You can enter strings as an ASCII character sequence, hex bytes, or special 
symbols. 
ASCII character sequence—You must enclose the entire sequence in 
quotation marks. 
Hex byte—You must use a backslash character and an 
x
, followed by the 
hex value. For example, hex 40 is represented by 
\x40
