			GFSDA Device Name Syntax

	GFSDA device names are composed of two or three parts having the
	general format "dddd_nnn_mmmm".  "dddd" is the device type
	string.  "nnn" is the entry number for the device type that
	you're interested in accessing.  "mmmm" is an optional modifier
	string which allows accessing individual fields of a data
	structure or may simply specify a particular device property.
	GFSDA device names must always be null terminated.  The separators
	between the different fields in a device name can be any
	nonalphanumeric character including spaces.

	Channel devices

	    Basic form: CHAN_nnn		(nnn can be 0 - 7)

	    Valid channel modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this channel
		STS  - returns the basic status property of this channel
		BCTL - accesses the basic control property of this channel

	Event buffer header devices:

	    Basic form: EBUF_nnn		(nnn can be 0 - 49)

	    Valid event buffer header modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this event buffer
		SET  - returns the setting property of this event buffer
		BCTL - accesses the basic control property of this event buffer

	Data buffer devices:

	    Basic form: DATA_sss_ccc		(sss can be 0 - 49,
						 ccc can be 0 - 7)

	    Valid data buffer modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this data buffer
		SET  - returns the setting property of this data buffer

	FFT header buffer devices:

	    Basic form: FBUF_nnn		(nnn can be 0 - 49)

	    Valid FFT header buffer modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this FFT header
		SET  - returns the setting property of this FFT header
		BCTL - accesses the basic control property of this FFT header

	FFT buffer devices:

	    Basic form: FFT_sss_ccc		(sss can be 0 - 49,
						 ccc can be 0 - 7)

	    Valid FFT buffer modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this FFT buffer
		SET  - returns the setting property of this FFT buffer

	Finite State Machine devices:

	    Basic form: FSM_nnn			(nnn can be 0 - 24)

	    Valid Finite State Machine modifier strings:
		DFND - returns whether or not this FSM is defined
		DESC - returns ASCII description of this FSM
		ACTV - returns whether or not this FSM is active
		STAT - returns the list of states used by this FSM
		NSTA - returns the number of states defined for this FSM
		ISTA - returns the initial state number for this FSM
		FSTA - returns the final state number for this FSM
		CNTL - accesses the basic control property of this FSM
		STS  - returns the basic status property of this FSM
		READ - returns the reading property of this FSM

	Periodic buffer devices:

	    Basic form: PBUF_nnn		(nnn can be 0 - 49)

	    Valid periodic buffer modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this periodic buffer
		SET  - returns the setting property of this periodic buffer
		BCTL - accesses the basic control property of this
		       periodic buffer

	State devices:

	    Basic form: STAT_nnn		(nnn can be 0 - 49)

	    Valid state modifier strings:
		DFND - returns whether or not this state is defined
		DESC - returns ASCII description of this state
		ACTV - returns whether or not this state is active
		NINC - returns the number of incarnations for this state
		TOD  - returns the Time Of Day buffer associated with
		       this state
		RULE - returns the set of rules for this state
		TRUL - returns the set of transition rules for this state
		PRUL - returns the periodic rule for this state
		ERUL - returns the set of event rules for this state
		STS  - returns the basic status property of this state
		READ - returns the reading property of this state

	Time Of Day buffer devices:

	    Basic form: TOD_nnn			(nnn can be 0 - 49)

	    Valid Time Of Day buffer modifier strings:
		READ - returns the reading property of this TOD buffer
		       (date string of currently selected incarnation)
		MENU - returns the array of incarnation date strings
		SET  - returns the setting property of this TOD buffer
