<H1>Object Method Reference</H1>
What follows in this section is a detailed description of all the
methods which are provided by the various object classes. The syntax
of each method is given, together with a description of its arguments,
purpose and function. The vast majority of methods occur with the
following generic syntax:
<P><PRE>
object.method(<arg1>,<arg2> .. <argn>);
</PRE>
<P>where <CODE>object</CODE> would be the name of an actual instrument, device or
other object and <CODE>method</CODE> the name of an actual method.
<P>However some of the most commonly accessed methods such as generating
an access point from an instrument name and a pair of coordinates have
a simpler syntax where the arguments are placed in parentheses immediately
after the object name, i.e. there is no method name as such. For example:
<P><PRE>
instrument(<x>,<y>)
</PRE>
<P>In the following reference to all the object methods such methods
are described merely by the arguments which are placed in between
the brackets, e.g.
<P><PRE>
(<x>,<y>)
</PRE>
