9.3 Continuous Output (Stream) Format
Figure 9-1 shows the default continuous output format sent to a Counterpart port when that port’s STREAM
parameter (SERIAL menu) is set to LFT or INDUST.
Figure 9-1. Continuous Output Data Format
9.4 Demand Output Serial Data Format
When demand mode is configured for the serial port (STREAM parameter set to OFF), the Counterpart uses a
data string formatted for a basic ticket printout. The particular ticket format printed depends on the indicator
configuration.
You can customize the ticket to work with a wide variety of printers, scoreboard displays, and other remote
equipment. See Section 6.0 on page 52 for more information on custom print formats.
9.5 Custom Stream Formatting
Each port can be independently configured to stream a default frame format or can be customized to stream a
user-defined format. Custom formatting is very similar to the standard print formatting described in Section 7.0
on page 52. Table 9-3 lists the format identifiers used to configure a custom stream format.
