Auxiliary Port Input Communications
Data Character Selection
This selection selects the serial output data characters that may be sent from the
RS-232 device connected to the Auxiliary Port.
When the Aux Port is used as an input, it is recommended (although not
required) that incoming messages be “framed” by start and stop characters.
These framing characters indicate to the base the beginning and end of a
message. The use of these characters decreases the possibility of missing or
partial messages being sent to the host system.
Note: These characters are stripped from the message within the base and are
not sent to the host system.
The bar codes below are used to configure the base to conform to the specific
framing characters sent from the peripheral device.
• SOR -- used to program the starting frame character of a “record”
• EOR -- used to program the ending frame character of a “record”
• SOB -- used to program the starting frame character of a “block”
• EOB -- used to program the ending frame character of a “block”
Default SOR Character = none (NUL: 00).
Default EOR Character = Carriage Return (CR: 0D).
Default SOB Character = none (NUL: 00).
Default EOB Character = End of Text (EOT: 04).
