Compare characters

FE Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character

“xx.” If characters are equal, move the cursor forward one position.

Syntax = FExx

where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex

value for its ASCII code.
Refer to the

ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)

on page A-4

for decimal, hex and character codes.

Compare string

B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings

are equal, move the cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax
= B2nnnnS where nnnn is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists
of the ASCII hex value of each character in the match string. For
example, B2000454657374 will compare the string at the current
cursor position with the 4 character string “Test.”
Refer to the

ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252)

on page A-4

for decimal, hex and character codes.

Check for a number

EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor

position. The format is aborted if the character is not numeric.

Check for non-numeric character

ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the

current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is
numeric.

Insert a delay

EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard wedge interfaces.
