Accessible only in the program mode, this command is used to enter
messages in memory. The message store command is accessed by pressing
[M][S][,] [message number][RETURN]. Valid message numbers are 1-6,
010-017, 110-117, 210-217, 310-317, 410-417, 510-517, 610-617 and
710-717.
After pressing the key sequence, a READY FOR INPUT message is
displayed as a prompt to enter the desired message. Any subsequent keys
pressed then become part of the message. If you try to use a message
number that already exists, the terminal will display a prompt MESSAGE
ALREADY EXISTS.
While entering a message, each key pressed, except the [SHIFT], [CTRL],
[ESC], or [RUB OUT] keys, generates a code that is stored in one byte of
memory. This includes ASCII and graphic characters, as well as other keys
such as [LINE FEED], [RETURN] or the [SPACE] keys. The [RUB OUT]
key is not stored in memory. The [SHIFT] and [CTRL] keys and the next
character in the sequence are stored together in one byte of memory.
Messages can be entered which, when reported, will give the current value
of a data table word or byte or the on/off status of a data table bit by using
the delimiters shown in Table 9.C. The desired delimiter is entered before
and after the bit, byte or word address. The delimiter is used to tell the
industrial terminal to print the current status or value of the bit, byte,
or word at the address. As many addresses as needed can be entered
consecutively by sharing the same delimiter, such as *XXX*XXX*XXX*.
The asterisk delimiters, *, should only be used if the data table size is less
than 512 words (not exceeding address 777
8
).
