| Object Method ReferenceWhat 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:
    object.method(<arg1>,<arg2> .. <argn>);
where  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: 
    instrument(<x>,<y>)
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. 
    (<x>,<y>)
