3.2.2 List of commands

Table 3.8 lists the ACIS commands according to the features called out in the Science Instrument Software Requirements Specification.

The definitive list of ACIS commands, including documentation and arguments, is contained in the ACIS IP&CL (Instrument Procedures and Command Language) description, MIT document number 36-53204, which is available on the Web at http://acisweb.mit.edu/sw.html.
