IF
FUNCTION: IF conditional statement
DESCRIPTION:
The IF command is used in conjunction with an ENDIF command to form an IF conditional
statement. The arguments consist of one or more conditional statements and each condition
must be enclosed with parenthesis (). If the conditional statement(s) evaluates true, the
command interpreter will continue executing commands which follow the IF command. If
the conditional statement evaluates false, the controller will ignore commands until the
associated ENDIF command OR an ELSE command occurs in the program.
ARGUMENTS: IF (condition)

<= less than or equal to
