ENTER MESSAGE: ↓
The message is sent out through the specified Pro-Link port exactly as the message was entered in Setup | Names | Message.
Carriage returns and line feed characters are not automatically appended to the end. To send ASCII control as part of the
message, use the caret "^" character in the message. This character specifics that the next character is to be interpreted as an
ASCII control character, such as "^M" to represent a carriage return.
Other useful sequences would be "^J" for a line feed character and "^G" for a bell character. To include an actual "^" character in
the message, enter it twice as in "^^".
Each message can be up to 15 characters long. To send a longer message, simply program two messages to be sent one after the
other.
