Select layout
Introduction
This mode allows an external device to perform the following operations via the RS232
or USB serial port:
• Select any layout from any group.
• Replace any variables in the current layout with new data.
• Mark the current layout.
• Get the currently loaded layout name
• Get the controller software version
• Modify the currently loaded layouts’ XYZ offsets
• Home the Marking Head
Select layout is a powerful mode and can be used in a wide variety of situations.
Method
To select a layout the external device must send an STX (ASCII 0x02) character
followed by the layout name followed by an ETX (ASCII 0x03) character. This will
load the specified layout from GROUP 1. To load a layout from a specified group
then the layout name must be prefixed with the group number (1-9, or ? to search all
groups) followed by a colon. If the layout does not exist an error message will be
displayed.
Any variables (line parameter
Contents set to Variable ) in the current layout may be
replaced with new text by sending an STX character followed by the variable text
followed by an SOH character. If there are several variables in the layout then the
first variable will be replaced by the first data sent, the second variable will be replaced
by the next data sent etc.
The current layout can be marked by sending an EOT (ASCII 0x04) character.
Basic Example : Transmit the following]
<STX>AB1234<ETX><STX>MFR A1234<SOH><STX>SER 12345<SOH><EOT>
Where <STX> is ASCII 0x02
<ETX> is ASCII 0x03
<SOH> is ASCII 0x01
<EOT> is ASCII 0x04
