OUTPUT STRING
The indicator contains one editable output string (print format). You can simply choose one of three
output strings already created for you or you can edit one of the pre-defined output strings to suit your
application.
Output strings are created by assigning a hexadecimal value to a decimal address. The addresses
start at 0 (displayed as 00) and end at 94. The HEX value can be a printable ASCII character or a
print command. Below please find a table of print commands.

NOTES:
1. The decimal values are provided only for reference; use HEX values when programming.
2. All output strings should end with an EOS character.
3. The Null character can be used to comment out a line when editing pre-defined output strings. In
this manner an unnecessary line can simply be skipped, i.e. not printed.
