Where argument 1 is the router control protocol from the following list:
H = Horiz on control protocol
U = Utah Scientific
V = Vistek
E = ESBus
R = BTS
and argument 2 is the communications port, default = COM1. Argument 3
is the serial portss baud rate. Default = 9600 Invoking NVTAKE with no

OPERATIONS
The various functions of the program are invoked with function keys from
the following list:
F1 Send a single take
F2 Send a salvo of takes
F3 Change to level to which the controller sends commands
F4 Query a single crosspoint (Vistek protocol only)
F5 List 10 sequential crosspoint connections. (Vistek protocol only)
F6 List all destinations connected to a single source. (Vistek protocol only)
F3 CHANGE ROUTER LEVEL
The F3 function key allows changing the level to which the controllers
commands are issued. The level IDs of most routing protocols are
numeric. Vistek uses the alpha characters A-Z. Again, point-to-point
connections are addressed on level one. Connections involving multiple
destinations are addressed on level two.
