Enter Master Symbol Data
Caution: Since the total number of characters available for the master symbol database is
2710 changes to the Master Symbol Database Size will re-allocate the number of characters
available for each master symbol and could cause existing master symbols to be deleted
(except master symbol #1 unless it also exceeds the size limitation).
The table below specifies the maximum number of characters available to each symbol
according to the number of master symbols defined, from 1 through 10.
See
Master Symbol Database Size on page 12-12.
Definition:
Allows you to enter master symbol data for a specific master symbol index
number (1 to 10), provided the index number is not larger than the number
of symbols enabled by the Master Symbol Database Size . For example, if
Master Symbol Database Size is set to 2, you will not be able to enter data
for symbols 3 through 10.
ESP:
Double-click on the index row.
Serial Cmd: < K231, master symbol number,master symbol data >
Default: 1, (blank)
Options: 1 to 10, any combination of ASCII text up to the maximum indicated in the
Maximum Characters for Master Symbol Database table below.
For example, to enter data for master symbol 9, after making certain that
master symbol database size is enabled for 9 or more symbols (see
Master
Symbol Database Size on page 12-12), send <K231, 9,data > .
