 [/DL], [/DR], [/DT], [/DB], used to dock displays to the left, right, top, or bottom
of the web browser window.
 [/Q1], [/Q2], [/Q3], [/Q4], used to set positions. /Q1: Upper right corner, /Q2:
Upper left corner, /Q3: Lower left corner, and /Q4: Lower right corner.
Equal (=) command is used to enter an expression from the command line or
anywhere else a FactoryTalk View SE command is used.
The syntax for the Equal command is: [&] <tag_name>=<expression>
 [&] forces the command to be evaluated asynchronously, which can dramatically
improve the performance of tag writes.
 <tag_name> is a relative or absolute reference to the tag that stores the result of
the expression. The tag name can include an area name.
 <expression> is a value, string, tag name, or a more complex expression.
Ramp command increases or decreases a tag value by a specified value or by
another tag's value.
The syntax for the Ramp command is Ramp [/V] <tag_name> <value|tag>
 [/V] performs a read immediately after the write to verify that the value was
actually altered in the programmable controller or OPC server. This parameter is
useful if the network is in poor condition or susceptible to noise interference. If
the verification fails, the error message is sent to the Factory Diagnostics system.
 <tag_name> is a relative or absolute reference to the tag that will be increased or
decreased in value.
 <value|tag> is an amount to add to or subtract from the current value of the
specified tag, as follows:
 A numeric value with a sign indicating add (+) or subtract (-).
 The value to add or subtract, as a percentage of the total min/max range, with
a sign indicating add (+) or subtract (-). The formula is:
new = old +/- (percentage/100 * (max - min)) plus (+) or minus (-) a tag
 If Ramp calculates a value that is outside of a tag's min/max range, it will
write the highest or lowest allowable value to programmable controller or
OPC server.
