N-5 Format Insert
N-5-1 Output Index
Definition: Output Index
refers to the database entry you wish to modify with this command. A
formatted output is built by extracting data from a symbol’s original data output and/or
inserting user-defined characters
.
It may be helpful to think of individual indexes as positions in the final formatted output
you wish to build. Starting with index # 1, enter either an extract or insert command to
begin building your desired output string. Then, with the next index number, enter either
an extract or insert command to continue building the output string. Continue this process
until you are finished building the string.
Serial Cmd:
<
K741, output index ,length,hex string>
Options:
1 to 100
N-5-2 Length
Definition:
Specifies the length of the user-defined character string that will be inserted. This
function is limited to 4 characters per output index, so multiple indexes must be entered
in order to insert longer character sequences.
For example, if you wish to insert a 10 character sequence in user-defined output, you
would need three commands with consecutive index numbers, where the first two
character sequence lengths were 4 and the third was 2.
Serial Cmd:
<
K741, output index, length ,hex string>
Default: 0
(Disabled; end of format cell array)
Options: 0
to 4
N-5-3 Hex String
Definition:
Specifies a character string that represents ASCII characters to be inserted in the
database entry. Two hex characters are required for every ASCII character to be inserted
in the user-defined output string. These two characters comprise the hex (base 16)
value of the ASCII character.
For example, if you wanted to enter the three-character sequence “Hi!” you would enter
3
for the length of the string, and a hex sequence of
486921
for the ASCII sequence to
be inserted. (48 = H; 69 = i; 21 = !)
Important:
Each pair of hex characters represents one ASCII character. Hex character
pairs range from 00 to FF. Since you are limited to 4 ASCII characters per insertion per
database entry, you are also limited to 8 hex characters per insertion per database entry.
Serial Cmd:
<
K741, output index,length, hex string >
Default: NUL
(
00
in hex)
Options: 00
to FF (As many as 4 bytes, or hex values.)
