3.8.5.4 Update Command

The Update command replaces the current parameter value with the DATA
Sent.

To update film parameters the format of the update command is:

U pp F vvv - Parameter pp of film F, value vvv.

Update parameter pp of film F, with value vvv, a space is used as a delimiter
between the pp and F values as well as the F and vvv values, where F is a digit
between 1 and 9. Refer to

Table 3-8 on page 3-27

for a numbered list of

parameters and their limits.

NOTE: If pp is set to 99, the data is a list of all parameters in the order specified.

This command allows a rapid block transfer of data which is convenient
for downloading films. Each parameter value must be separated by a
space.

To update layers the format of the update command is:

U 40 L v

Where 40 designates a layer is to be updated. The value L indicates which layer
to update. The value of L can be 1, 2, or 3, and v designates the film number to
