4.5.2.2 Entering Nonprinting Characters
VCRs require a special nonprinting character to signal
the beginning and/or ending of a command string. To
enter a nonprinting character use a backslash (\)
followed by the decimal ASCII character code. For
example (control-B)FPL(control-C) would be entered
as
\2 FPL \3
. A space is required before and after a
nonprinting character (except at the beginning or
ending of the command string).
4.5.2.3 Saving Command Strings as a Model Type
For installations where multiple custom VCR type
controls have to be configured with the same set of
command strings, it is useful to save the command
strings as a model type. This will save the installer
from reentering the commands. To do this, enter a
name in the
Model Name
box and click
Save
Command Strings as a Model Type
. The command
strings will be saved as a file called xxxxxxxx.VCR in
the \VCR directory, where xxxxxxxx is the name
entered in the
Model Name
box. The user entered
model name will then appear in the
Communication
Setup dialog box as a new model to select from.
