Internal Numeric Message Examples
Stand Alone
<STX>#81<ETX>
Motor Failure
Master
<STX>00#81 01#1<ETX>
Master (00) digitizer motor failure + Slave 01 not
responding
Header String
Headers (up to 128 bytes) can be defined and transmitted as a block preceding the diagnostic message.
Selections: characters from
NUL
(00H) to
~
(7EH).
Termination String
Terminators (up to 128 bytes) can be defined and transmitted as a block following the diagnostic message.
Selections: characters from
NUL
(00H) to
~
(7EH).
No Failure String
The No Failure String can be defined and transmitted as a block when there is no diagnostic message to be sent. This
is useful for example when the output message must have fixed fields, including diagnostic messages.
When this parameter is blank the diagnostic message field will only be included in the output message when an actual
diagnostic message is present.
Diagnostic Message Format
It defines whether the message(s) will be sent as Internal Numeric Message(s) or as User Defined String(s).
If the Compact value is selected, then only a single message will be sent in the User Defined Strings format. In the
case of multiple messages this will be the first one revealed. If the first message is cleared then the next message (if
any) will take its place.
Node Identification
This parameter is meaningful only for devices set as Master SYNCHRONIZED or Master MULTIDATA. It determines
whether the diagnostic alarm messages sent for the various scanners in the network will be based on (and therefore
include) their address or their description. The scanner description is the one described in the Network Wizard window
and can be edited for both Master and Slaves.
User Defined Messages
The following messages substitute the Internal Numeric Messages when Diagnostic Message Format is set to User
Defined Messages.
The format of diagnostic messages in general is <Header><Message><Terminator> where the User Defined Message
has the following syntax:
xx#yyy space...
xx is either the address of the scanner: 00 = Master, all others = Slaves; or the Node Identification description string.
yyy is the User Defined Message string
