6.1.4 • EXPANDED (“0X0F>”) STRING FILES (“S”)
PLEASE NOTE:
1) TEXT files are the only files that can be directly shown on the ‘LED’ display.
2) In the above examples no carriage return spaces need to be between the “File Label (“E” in table
5) and the beginning of your message or between the end of your message and the “End of
Transmission” (“H” in table 2). Also all bold text in the above ASCII code are supplied to aid each
circumstance and all non bolded format is explained in table 2.
3) There is a possibility of seventeen thousand six hundred and seventy-two (17,672) combination
Expanded TEXT file labels (reference Appendix C - Expanded & Single Valid File Labels and
Characters), which is calculated by multiplying valid File label combinations and then multiplying
by the amount of valid Drives for the specific Folder ([94 x 94] x 2).
4) Valid Drives can be “D:” or “E:” (illustrated in the above table).
5) If an Expanded TEXT Write command (“A”) is used then the Expanded TEXT Folder must be a “T”)
6) The expansion of TEXT files can not be accomplished prior to 4U2SEE firmware version 8E04.

6.1.4 Expanded (“<0x0F>”) STRING Files (“S”)
The Expanded STRING files are used to store ASCII characters only (reference Appendix C:
Expanded & Single Valid File Labels and Characters). The ASCII message data and display mode
information, along with various other control codes, are stored in Expanded STRING files on a
specified Drive in the STRING (“S”) Folder.
Table 6: Write STRING File Transmission Packet
EXAMPLE NOTE:
The coding examples in “Table 6” get called from the Expanded TEXT, with
embedded Expanded STRING, file: <0x01>Z00<0x02>A<0x0F>DTfAGoal:<0x10><0x0F>ESDH
Actual:<0x10><0x0F>DSDM<0x04> and when the example in Item “A” (Table 6) is sent to the display
(populating “<0x10>DSDM” variable) – it will read:
Goal: DH
Actual: 500
The “Goal” quantity has not yet been populated so “DH” will stay the default – the last value sent.
Then when the example in Item “B” (Table 6) is sent to the display (populating “<0x10>ESDH”
variable) – it will read:
Goal: 977
Actual: 500

Examples:
<0x01>Z00<0x02>A<0x0F>DT

This is where you type

<0x01>Z00<0x02>A<0x0F>ET
6R
This is where you type
message<0x04>
