Advanced Tools
Many customers may wish to connect this instrument to a more
advanced and automated data collection system. Such systems are
beyond the capability of this document to describe in any detail, and
Advanced Instruments does not currently supply hardware or software
to meet this requirement.
Delimiter Entry
A delimiter is a character used to specify the boundary between inde-
pendent text fields. The delimiter programmed into the instrument
firmware is available on the United States International keyboard and is
known as the vertical bar or vertical line, and looks like this |. This
character is part of the standard ASCI II character set using the HEX
value 7C, decimal value 124, and Unicode value 0007C.
Programmers should use appropriate language code to identify this
character when attempting to separate the information fields. Users of
standard Windows
®
applications who are attempting to import a saved
text file containing the LIMS strings will need to enter the delimiter in
the program’s dialog box for delimiter values. If you do not have a
U.S. international keyboard or have remapped the keyboard to a foreign
character set, then the delimiter may be entered using one of the meth-
ods below:
• ALT Key Numeric Codes
To use this method you must have a numeric keypad, usually located
on the right side of the keyboard. (You cannot use the numeric keys
located across the top of the keyboard.) Place your cursor in the
entry location of the application program, hold down the ALT key on
the left side of the keyboard and enter the number 124 on the key-
pad. Release the ALT key and you should see the | symbol in the
delimiter entry field.
