MessageOutVar
MessageOutVar functions just like MessageOut only it has the ability to send
variable values within the custom message. This operates the same way as
displaying variables with LCD Strings, only with a few minor differences.
Simply precede the variable index with an hF3 for an ASCII Value, hF4 for a
right justified value with leading zeros, or hF5 for a Binary byte value. In
instances where you want to send the actual values hF3, hF4, or hF5 simply
double them as in example #4.
Example #1
– ASCII Value
Event Data1 Data2
MessageOutVar Port3 "Executed " hF3 h01 " times" h0D
(Where “4” is the current value of Var1)
Sends (ASCII) :
"Executed 4 times" h0D
Example #2
– Leading Zeros
Event Data1 Data2
MessageOut Port3 "Executed " hF4 h01 " times" h0D
(Where “21” is the current value of Var1)
Sends (ASCII) :
"Executed 021 times" h0D
Example #3
– Byte Value
Event Data1 Data2
MessageOut Port3 h49 hF5 h01
(Where “37” is the current decimal value of Var1)
Sends:
h49 h25
