10.1 Print Format Editor
The Print Format Editor creates custom print formats by letting you insert ASCII
characters, scale tokens and variables into a print string. See
for the ASCII characters, scale tokens and
variables that can be used.
When you use scale tokens or variables, you must append a function number to the
token or variable. The function number used depends on whether you want to print the
Value, Name or Data Type of the token. The most common function usage is to print
the token Value but in certain situations you may want to print the token Name. The
token Data Type is reserved for special application usage.
You can also append optional parameters to a token or variable to modify the default
behavior. For example, the optional parameters allow you to change the printed format
such as the number of digits or characters, or use leading zeros instead of spaces, etc.
The token that is selected will determine what optional parameters are available. See
Print tokens, parameters and default print formats
for a list of the optional
parameter tables.
The ZM series indicator also supports the UTF-8 Unicode character set which is used
for numerical HTML Coding values and to support many foreign language character
sets.
